Worm prretneding to be a fix. DO NOT open or run the exe attached. It will load Dumaru.

The Dumaru worm arrives in an email pretending to be a security patch from Microsoft. In reality, it is a mass-mailing email worm that installs a backdoor component onto infected systems.

I dont think he was making fun of you, he was just concerned for you. I would've said the same thing, cause a lot of people are stupid.

Thank god you aren't... my parents would've opened that...

PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN! HASN'T "BLASTER" TAUGHT US THAT?!
