Hi Benny,
There are such things but this is probably a hoax email originally.
It creeps out of the woodwork about this time every year ...
The golden rule is simply not to open anything you weren't expecting.

Anyone using Windows and Internet Explorer is at risk unless you get the update
sent out on autoupdate by Microsoft yesterday (17Dec08), there is a REAL threat
from infected websites affecting as far back as Win2000 machines and their server
systems, the patch fixes it.

Safe festive surfing everyone. And remember ... backups, backups, backups.

Cheers,
Steve.

Yes the other "Steve" and i were listening and talking about the Internet Explorer XP and 00 to 008 'patch' last night...
I think as long as your auto-security updates daily...you'll be ok, or just scan update security .......... thanks again benny
