Subject: RE: Tech: Virus alert: Fake Microsoft e-mail
A digression, but I would like to know.
Frequently, when I run Spyware Doctor, this item shows up-
"Altnet software. Bundled with Kazaa. Installs a browser helper object, which loads when IE-- (can't get the rest of the sentence)."

And what is Kazaa?
Spyware Doctor removes the item, but itbothers me. I also think my cable provider is adding some of these items.
Boxcar words like vulnerabilities and functionalities seldom used in messages from Microsoft (Their communications can be confusing enough without them).
