This proves that Windows is secure
From the description of this thing:
From: Customer Support

Subject: (any of the following)
? Worm Alert!
? Worm Detected!

Message body:
Dear Customer,
Our robot has detected an abnormal activity from your IP address on sending e-mails. Probably it is connected with the last epidemic of a worm which does not have official patches at the moment.
We recommend you to install this patch to remove worm files and stop email sending, otherwise your account will be blocked. We had archived the patch because the worm can modify unpacked exe files. You should open the archive file, enter the password and run the patch immediately.

Password: {Random}

Customer Support Center Robot.

Attachment: Patch-{Random}.zip


The "victim" has to open the zip file, ignore all the warnings from the email client, enter a password, and then execute an EXE in order to get infected? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Anyone need more proof that Windows is secure? After all, if it wasn't, why would you need to create something that required so much user interaction?
