FYI, a new virus masquerading as a Cumulative Update for IE from Microsoft came out today. Not to make too big a deal of it, but AV updates were being pushed today to cover it, some still haven't received those updates, so there's some noise being made ("Hey, I got this false update from Microsoft").
Its flashier than previous versions, using HTML to make it look more like a fancy MS advisory.
Just remember, Microsoft doesn't push update executables attached to email to anyone en-masse (even though they recommend you do!)
Cheers,
