Why all of a sudden am I receiving email warnings that
show messages have been deleted because they were unable
to be cleaned. They are (ie.): patch.exe:Worm.
Automat.AHB, Patch 685.exe:worm.Auto.AHB, cujm.exe, and
various others. Most of these are supposedly coming from
Microsoft. Anyone else having this problem? What do we
do about this?

NO, Microsoft DOESN'T send these emails.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/news/patch_hoax.asp

"Authentic security bulletin mailers never provide the
patch itself or a link to the patch; instead, they refer the
reader to the complete version of the bulletin on our
web site, which provides a link to the patch"

Microsoft NEVER sends updates as email attachments

ISP providers have to implement better email scanning
on BOTH outgoing and incoming mail. Most don't do anything.

Read previous posts before posting your own question. This would have
yielded an answer.
