Just recieved an e-mail - it's a spinal reaction here to zap'em as they
arrive, but I am always curious when MS is being referred to in "official"
sounding language.

Any comments?

Tony - Never. Ever. Click on or actually even READ that stuff. It's exactly
what it smells like. Putrid SPAM.

I wouldn't dream of making contact, of course. I have lost count of the
number of millions of dollars that I have ignored (while sleeping quite
soundly!) but I keep wondering about the number of missuses of a well
guarded trademark name that just happens to cross my path and I am pretty
well guarded as it is, I think.

The worst kind are the pop-up's, off of regular sites that is attaching to
regular MS advertizing, that tells the unsuspected casual user that his PC
is infected with something and need some sort of scanning job (not an MS
one, of course!)

If the people behind such scam is expecting a 'catch', they will have to
stay up long enough for Microsoft to have time to react - I don't feel
personally offended, but the risk and danger is offending and I would like
to hear if anybody thinks MS might be doing something - because we don't
hear about anything being done, right? Not critical of MS, nor of this NG,
perhaps critical that no knowledge is being spread about any counteractions.
It would be comforting to have some sort of insight.
