I received this from Microsoft today and thought I’d share it with you all.
If you receive an e-mail that claims to be distributing a Microsoft security update, it is a hoax that may be distributing a virus.
Microsoft does not distribute security updates through e-mail.
You can learn more about Microsoft’s software distribution policies here:
