"Several of our readers reported an email that lead to a fake Microsoft patch being spammed on the net today. The email had their full names and in one case the company they worked for included in the body of the email. So far I have seen 4 different urls. We are working on getting the systems hosting the malware cleaned or shutdown. We have submitted the malware itself to most of the AV vendors so detection should improve but currently it is not detected... You can see in the body of the email... that the spelling is bad and the license key is not in the right format for XP nor Outlook. Microsoft pointed us to a couple of web pages they maintain that should help you recognize fraudulent email...

We notified one of the support teams at a hosting provider that a virus was found on one of there customers systems. Their auto responder responded within a minute. A support person removed the malware and responded within 30 minutes. When I tried to verify that I found the malware was still there or back. When I notified the hosting provider that the malware was back the support person analysised logs, determined it was being uploaded via ftp and immediately disabled the ftp account involved."
