I installed the jan 2005 cumulative patch by mistake after r­eceiving
it
by email as an attachment. It claims to have come from Micro­soft. I
later discovered this is a bogus email & has nothing to with­
Microsoft.
It turns the attachment is a virus. The next day I received ­about 48
email messages which were bounced back after automatically s­ending to

email addresses I sent before. So how do I remove this virus­ from my
computer without any virus removal software ? If I can't does anyone
know of a free virus removal software?
