Microsoft isn't "letting" anyone do anything. These posts get in a thing
called "Usenet" and your posts (and the email address you entered) get
propagated to news servers worldwide and this stupid work is on lame peoples
machines and is picking these addresses up from anybody who reads the
newsgroups and is infected by the worm. I'm not saying it's not a
problem--believe me when I say I feel your pain. I'm just saying you can't
blame Microsoft. Usenet worked this way for a long time before Microsoft
discovered the Internet.

Same here. I get about 45 of those so called patches a day. That is not
counting the emails that bounce back to me because someone forged my email
address.

Yesterday, I put my email address in a message in this
group, Today my mail is full of email sending virus (email
from microsoft suppoused), and other XXX email.

Why Microsoft let get emails from this groups?!!!!
