iis security: I just received the new patch from Microsoft, put when I
tried to download, my Norton anti virus program detected
the virus "W32Swen.A@mm"

Has anybody else received this?

MS does not send patches by email. You've installed a very, very nasty
trojan on your computer.

See: www.microsoft.com/security for information about microsoft emails.

Hopefully you let Norton stop the installation!

There is a trojan going around (which Symantec calls W32Sven.A), which
claims to be a patch from Microsoft. It's a hoax message. Microsoft never
sends out patches. Microsoft may send out emails, but you always need to go
to the Microsoft website (usually http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) to
download the actual patch.
