Hi,
In these 2 days I received many e-mail requesting me for doing upgrade
with various microsoft components (examples below). But from what I
know microsoft will generally not asking normal users (my e-mail
account is just a free one among the millions others) to do this. Will
those e-mail contain trojan horse programs or virus ? Where can I
report the case (I need one concrete e-mail address) to if so ?
Thanks!

You are right. Those emails do contain virii and/or trojan horse type
programs.
You are also right that Microsoft would NEVER distribute any sort of
upgrade/fix via email and/ot newsgroup postings.
You are not the only person to be 'hit' with these messages.
I am sure that the people who can do something about this are already aware
of what is happening and so my advice is to delete them.

But I couldn't keep on deleting them continuously because since
Sep18,03 I have continuously receiving tens of mail usually of kinds
a. security patch or windows update alert with attachment, b.
undelivered mail reports but I haven't send those e-mail to those
unknown receipents, etc. Any party or web site can suggest methods to
block e-mail accounts from receiving those mail ? "chausan" <ch*********@yahoo.com.hk> wrote in message news:21***********************@posting.google.com. .. Hi,
