Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] IE 6.0 patch IS A TROJAN - DO NOT RUN IT EITHER

Body:
Well, this is odd...

I wake up and see that my name is next to a virus posted here...but
I must say I have no idea how it got on my machine or targetted
me....

1. I run antivirus software.
2. I NEVER post to or get messages from these news groups through
EMAIL....therefore...
3. There is and has never been an ascmclaren yahoo groups email
address in my address book.
4. I keep my machine up to date every week.
5. I ran the HouseCall scanner that was posted here just to be sure
and there is not a virus to be found on my machine.

and most importantly....

6. I never open unknown attachments.

Very weird...

-Mike
