Microsoft Virus warning
A virus is doing the rounds disguised as an Internet Explorer security upgrade.
A number of UNE users have received an email claiming to be a security update for Internet explorer. The email is not from Microsoft. It is an attempt to get users to follow the link and download malicious software to their computer.
If you recieve the email simply delete it - The email itself is not the virus. The virus is only activated once a user clicks on the link.

Microsoft does not *ever* issue patches by email.
Of course this wouldn’t worry you if you use a more secure platform,
or if IE was not part of the operating system.
