yeah, that would be someone sending you a virus.

NO RESPECTABLE COMPANY EMAILS PATCHES

go to windowsupdate.com for microsoft updates and for antivirus updates/patches go to the maker of your antivirus's website....

maybe you should ask somebody about before you do.

It's a WORM! Which means it's not as bad as a virus, but it'll still make your computer life miserable. Like everyone else says, just delete it. You can download the proper patch from the Microsoft website.

I got a bunch of them but I didn't open it.

We got infected with that (expletive deleted) virus 5 times and we didn't even open the emails, we had like 5 emails that were infected though. You may be infected just because you opened the email.
