    Well i just received a mail from microsoft saying this:

    MESSAGE: Today we have discovered a new vulnerability in windows systems, we highly recommend you applying this patch....


    ATTACHMENTS: file called " K54403.exe (247k) "

    SENDER: [email protected]<micros...softupdate.com>


    Is this true?

    Or maybe is a virus or hacker trying to get in my PC?

    THANKS FOR ANY help&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

    I doubt it was from microsoft - they wouldn&#39;t send updates through e-mail, even though that would be extremely helpful

    Yeah dont get it, if its not in windows update then dont get it. Also theres no way that microsoft would send a peosonal message to someone.

    i got an email exactly like this from &#39;ms&#39; a few months ago

    i was suspicious, so i actually sent ms an email about it
    they never replied, so i never opened the attachment

    instead, hate MS for making it so easy for these kiddies to make worms. there are still 31 security holes in ie alone.

    Yup&#33; Its been out there for quite some time now. And it is obvious no company sends updates, patches via email other than a direct link to the website.
