[Woodcarver] spam

[R. Stephan Toman]

Hi Lon:

     Last week I got something about a possibly destructive Trojan Horse 
that is being disguised as a Microsoft update message.  I am only getting 
my updates from the Microsoft website or from my Norton updates...anything 
remotely suspicious in my email is sent to my trash basket without question.
