Warning! (I think)

Hi m8's,
 
Today, when I was updating security on a comp without firewall and with virusdefinitions from July, I got about four popup messages, claiming they were from Messenger, saying the pc was infected with malicious spyware which eventually would crash the HDD. The first one wanted me to download a patch from some www.patchxxx.com and when I didn't, the following messages referred to a microsoft adress.
 
The message said that all MS OS, except for ME2000, were affected.
 
To the best of my knowledge, MS never sends out messages like that, so I guess it was a virus. Can't see anything about it on MS, or Symantec sites. So beware m8's!

Roll EyesThanks Gorth mate,
                                  another one which is doing the rounds slows down the PC or Explorer and needs repeated re-boots.
Tell tale sign is it doesn't allow you into the "Help and Support" or the "Search" facility.
All you get is a blank folder with that little MS dog scratching it's balls.
