I've received about 30 so far today and all with attachments ranging from "the info you requested", "your password", "etc..

Obviously this isn't sent from mickeysoft, but just some idiot "spoofing" or using that "from" email to try and propagate a virus.

Don't open the attachment of course because it is all false info and it is a virus. Also get the latest updates for your av.

See <a href="http://news.com.com/2100-1002_3-1007603 ... p">HERE</a> for more info.

Nope

Most that do crap like that do it for the sheer joy in knowing the hassle and damage they are causing. And to brag to their buds (other pathetic people) .

Though for those of us who use mailwasher, it's just a simple click and that bs is deleted and bounced back.

Maybe mickeysoft themself can investigate and find this pathetic culprit since their name is used.

Mailwasher is not going to help - it's being sent by a virus.

Yes I know it is being sent by the virus but mailwasher DOES help. With it, it's easier to delete those emails and do so before they hit your inbox.
