Bogus Microsoft Security Email

Among other spam I have today received 3 Emails from "Microsoft" warning of a security risk with Windows asking me to install the attached .exe file.

The Emails look very realistic but when you right click and look at properties they have been sent from some wierd addresses. Clearly bogus.

They are now in the bin - but everyone should be aware of the risk they run if they assume the Emails are genuine.

To the best of my knowledge - Microsoft never send out Emails of this sort and encourage you to use the normal Upgrade methods or their official website for downloads.

Tell all your friends.
