  Me, too. I got like 7 of these over the last 8 hours... ;  I have not recieved it. It''s probably some bogus hack/virus crap.   "Yeah, I would''ve killed you, but I''m glad I didn''t - the paperwork is a bitch"  ;  I've received 12... Anyway, hotmail displays them as special from m$ so I think they are really from bill...EDIT: Sorry, as I was posting, I received my 12th, and didn't include it in the count.   [edited by - puzzler183 on August 19, 2003 7:58:13 AM];  Ooh, I bet this will blow up in their faces.  I''m up to 8 or something. ;  I jsut realized I woke up this morning, and had more of those than normal junk mail... Oh yeah, and I got another two, I''m up to 14. ;  I feel inferior... I only had a paltry 6.That was the first time I''ve checked my hotmail account in over two months, too... heh. ;  What exactly is the ''security update'' that it''s advertising, anyway? All I could find on the page it sent you to was a link to download Messenger 6... now, I wonder, could the fact that I use Trillian have anything to do with it?
