    The above was sent to me under the guise of a update to the Mblast.exe worm.

    It did fool me for a second, before Norton AntiVirus killed it dead, anyone else get this in an email? Also if you have a look at the last part of the message the copyright symbol is wrong.. that was the dead giveaway for me.

    So please keep up the virus definitions on your Systems.
