I got this alert today - please pay particular attention to this and do NOT forward it on should you receive the message from someone:
 
A virus is being distributed in a hoax e-mail that indicates that a
patch is available for a series of vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer
Web browser and Outlook software. The original patch was released in
February. Microsoft states that it has not updated the patch and that
the e-mail message is fraudulent.

The e-mail message uses a Microsoft address and has the subject line
"Internet Security Update." It tells users to immediately run an
attached ".exe" file with the name q216309.exe, which Microsoft states
is a virus.

If you receive this message described above, it should be deleted.
 
If you receive this e-mail nessage, delete immediately and empty your trash can. Do NOT forward the message and do NOT run the attached ".exe" file - that is the actual virus!
