Another year 2000 e-mail hoax is circulating the Internet, and it is being
described by Microsoft Corp. as a "serious issue."

The Redmond, Wash., company has found that customers are receiving bogus
e-mail purporting to be from Support@.... An attachment includes a
Trojan Horse that, when executed, takes a user's personal information
(including password, login and user name).

The mail reads as follows:

"From: support@...
Subject: Microsoft Announcement
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 23:37:05 +0200

To All Microsoft Users,

We are excited to announce the Microsoft Year 2000 Counter.
Start the countdown NOW.
Let us all get in the 21 Century.
Let us lead the way to the future and we will get YOU
there FASTER and SAFER."

Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) encourages users not to open any e-mail attachment
unless they know what it is and who it is from. The company also recommends
that users keep their anti-virus files updated.
