CurlyWhirly Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Microsoft will never send you an e-mail about updating windows. If you get one, delete it.the correct windows update sites are:http://windowsupdate.microsoft.comhttp://update.microsoft.com (BETA)I do know this but some newbies may not, hence my post!Incidentally I have registered with Microsoft for a Bi-weekly newsletter and I am just curious as to why Microsoft print a mass of numbers and letters before the actual @newsletters.microsoft.com as shown in my screenshot.Do they do this to try and prevent spoofing of the e-mail I wonder? :unsure: Lesson learnt, click on Windows Update yourself, if like me you don't accept auto downloads of updates.That's exactly what I do, I have set the updates to 'Notify me but don't automatically download or install them'.
