Hi,

I received an E-Mail, SUBJECT "Re Phone Number", FROM .

The message reads:

"This message has been processed by Symantec's AntiVirus Technology.

phone_number4.pif was infected with the malicious virus W32.Sality.U and has
been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.

I find it a little strange because
1. I understood that Microsoft didn't send E-Mails.
2. I don't have Norton or Symantec on my computer.

Is this "for real"? Did Microsoft use Symantec (Norton) AV?

I would very much appreciate an explanation.

Some programs fake email addresses then then other servers send out error
messages to the faked address and that's what you are seeing. Just ignore
it.

It's malicious spam; delete it and forget it. You're right, microsoft
wouldn't send such an e-mail.
