Microsoftpatch

a notice keeps coming up on our computer that is
microsoftatch.info. Do I need this? When I try to get it
it will not come up.

Erwin;
That sounds like a site not affiliated with Microsoft that attempts to
sell you what Microsoft will give for free:

Hi,
Should this type of intrusion be reported to Microsoft?
My sister received the same type of message for a 'windows-
patch.info'. It looks like the site is hocking products
for a 'securesoft.org' using masked links. Is there
anything I can do other than tell her not to touch it?

Mike

Microsoft is probably aware of the problem.

Get a firewall configured to stop messenger spam (block all inbound ports),
and get an IE popup blocker (such as http://toolbar.google.com )

Please read all messages posted by me, Tedd R., Lanwench,
Jason and Danny Slye (Microsoft MCSE himself).
It is most likely a bogus one. It is (was)also disguised
as: windows-patch.info and windowspatch.com. Be careful!
