So, let's see...

A) Microsoft, who have several thousand employees and their own domain
and email servers, asked "Regina Grüner" to go to a free email provider
and use an anonymous account to spam all of Usenet as a way of
distributing their latest security patch.

or

B) Some phisher or spammer or other kind of scammer has decided that a
weaselly cunning plan to get people to run a trojan to do some nefarious
thing would be to PRETEND that they are distributing MS's latest
security patch.

Hmmmm... which sounds more likely?
