This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

yip sounds like the worm alright
the warnings have all stated that it tends to arrive as a fake email from m$
if you have opened it try taking a look at symantec`s site there may be help there
if you want the security patches and believe me you do go to m$ site normally and dl them from there

With win XP if it's redgistered with your e-mail M$ does tend to send updates. They look pretty much like that, and contain a link to the M$ download site
