Hi:

<begin rant>
 A friend, who uses Xp, went to www.micorosoft.com and downloaded the patch 
for the Luvsan worm.  When he clicked on the download button, a message 
appeared telling him to turn off his virus software. This he did and 
restarted the download. When the download was done, he had infected his 
computer with the Luvsan (Blaster?) worm. This tells me that the geniuses at 
Microsoft did not even bother to check the validity of the software patches 
they had. Nor did they test the URL for malicious redirects. It's just mind 
boggling that people will pay for this kind of gross incompetence.
</end rant>
							
							Kind regards
