RE: Security alert -- Revised procedure



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

When I tried those two links today, the web pages were entirely different than yesterday. Apparently Microsoft replaced them.  Had they been hacked into?

>From now on, I will wait a week before verifying and posting and security alerts that appear to have come from Microsoft.  

When even Microsoft's security site becomes questionable, what's left?

Regards,
Mark Jurik

specific way a harmful web page or HTML email can run
executable code on your machine.

If you use SMTP service for e-mail (almost everyone does) and use
