I have the autoupdate ability turned on my machine, and a little icon comes on in teh tray bar. If I do ont see one at least once a week, I go and visit the MS updates section. I had already been told by a news group (cannot remember which) to not open the e-mail as it was already known that a virus was circulating that way at least a week ago.


By the way, a good way to protect your machine from unwanted solicitation is to have an e-mail account that is used only for registering for items, or signing up for stuff. A default e-mail that you tell strangers about. The only people that have my real e-mail address are the ones that I actually know personally.
