Microsoft has issued a warning against a new virus that they do not
yet have a patch for ... it is attached to Internet Explorer and the
user will get a window prompt requesting them to press the F1 key.
Doing this then causes malicious code to be run on your computer.

So ... DO NOT press F1 if you are prompted - no matter how many times.
Evidently, it will pester you repeatedly. Either X out of the window
or Explorer all together.

If you follow the links from that March article, the patch was
released April 13th.

Not to mention that Microsoft doesn't really issue virus patches.
