more than 75 e-mails daily from this site. I implore that
stop the e-mail. The e-mails are about the Microsoft Bugs
(oficial Microsoft e-mails).

Hi Roberto

The mails do not come from Microsoft.

Microsoft has always had a policy that they don't mail their customers
anything, you have to get the service packs and updates from their website.
This way you are guaranteed to get uninfected files.

The mail you receive claiming to be from Microsoft contain viruses and I
would not recommend that you execute the attatchments.

The reason you are receiving those mails is because the people who
distribute the virusses scan newsgroups for email addresses. I would
recommend in future you don't supply an email address that you don't want to
be spammed on your posts.

As Cobus pointed out, the emails are not from MS, but are spam with
viruses in them.
