WE'VE NOW HAD several letters from readers who are being inundated by what appears to be the same message, received multiple times, apparently from Microsoft.
Why is this happening? Only the Vole knows.
Here's the message.
ATTENTION: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED FOR MSN AND WINDOWS MESSENGER USERS.
You are receiving this e-mail because you are a MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger Service user.
As part of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative, Microsoft is updating the .NET Messenger Service and providing you with an important MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger security update.
If you are using MSN Messenger 5.0, Windows Messenger 4.7.2000, or MSN Messenger for Mac 3.5, or any versions higher than these, you do NOT need this security update. To find out which version you have, select the 'Help' menu in Messenger, then select 'About'. If you are using an older version, or are not sure, please visit:http://messenger.msn.com/Help/Upgrades.aspx for an update.
NOTICE: If you are not using an updated version, you will be unable to continue using your MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger Service.
Thank you for helping Microsoft further its commitment to helping you protect your privacy and security online
