Just signed into MSN and checked my Hotmail account and I had a message with the subject "Watch correction security patch from Microsoft".
I clicked into it and there is no body to the message, just a 208k attachment called "update988.exe".

A Google search reveals no info at all, does anyone else know what this virus does or is?
Has anyone else had this message?

I could download and try to decompile it but I'm not sure of it's behaviour yet.
