I've had about 150 emails all claiming to be from Microsoft about a security update or similair subject. Norton AV detected them all and we should all just delete them! It apppears to be a worm virus that searches a PC for email addresses and sends itself to every one it finds. It can be called something.exe but the actual worm virus is called 'Worm.Automat.AHB' and is well known. Keep your Virus definitions up to date.
Beware of emails from Microsoft

No. My virus definitions are upto date and Norton AV stops them before they do any harm. Just thought I'd let other people know.
I'm getting about 40-50 of these emails everyday.

Block them then ?
Not really worth it as the same address will probably not send it to you more than once. Personally I block 'em all.
