There are currently a lot of fake e-mails circulating which claim to come from Microsoft and offer you a link to instal updates.

Dear Windows User,
In order to better protect you, Microsoft has created a crucial update.
This upgrade is applicable to all versions of Microsoft Windows and is available completely free to all Windows Users.
Simply visit (dodgy link deleted) and click “Open” or “Install Now” to install the upgrade.
The update will be completed automatically and no further action is required on your part.
We appreciate your prompt cooperation.
Kind Regards,
Windows Update Dept.
Yeah … right, like we’re all going to do that eh???
But there are always going to be total clowns who will click these links and then get suckered into clicking “instal” ………..and fry their computer!!!
Don’t you be that clown !!!
NOTE: Microsoft NEVER NEVER NEVER …..EVER sends out e-mails to notify its customers of Windows Updates.
