MS does not email fix notifications to individual users, AFAIK. I do know that there is a worm currently propagating by pretending to be a security patch. Don't trust the email. Go to Microsoft's website to get your updates.
Has anyone else been getting a series of upgrade and patch notices concerning networking and secutity fixes for MS OS's?
I have received 4 in the last week. They look very pro and the url's do connect but the subject titles beg a second look. One says "last chance" another "install immediately" which presses my bogus button immediately.
He who hesitates may be rewarded in this case.
