Viruses in Yahoo bulk folder???

Hello all, I'm getting many messages from Mailer-Daemon@yahoo.com, Internet Delivery Service, Miscrosoft Program Security Center, etc in my Yahoo bulk folder. I havent opened any of them and was wondering if this is one of those mass mailing viruses. The size of these emails are either 142k or 154k. I did post a problem at a Microsoft messageboard a week ago and I wonder if one of those "Spiders" got my email address or if maybe Microsoft actually has a patch their trying to send me (does that sounds stupid?). Ive already deleated about 20 of these in the past 3 days and got 3 more today. I dont think Micro$oft would be that concerned that I get their patch. Has anybody else received these type of messages in their bulk folders???
Microsoft NEVER EVER E-MAILS UPDATES and either block the e-mail or delete them or get a new e-mail address.

Just a heads up: I'm still getting (but deleting) those emails from Microsoft claiming its a software patch 142K or mail undeliverable 154K, etc. After doing some web surfing I read about someone who had received similar emails. It turns out at the Trend Micro website they have a story about this situation and its a virus/trojan called- PE_DUMARU.A
