Default Hoax?


"Alan Gould" wrote in message
...
I have received an e-mail today purporting to be from Microsoft Security
Division advising me to download and install their March 2003 Security
Patch. The message in convincingly worded, but it contains some
inconstancies with the usual MS style. I have checked at Widows Updates
on the MS site and that tells me that no critical updates are due for
downloading in my PC. I am assuming that the message is a hoax and that
to download it would cause problems. Can anyone confirm this please?

M$ never email people security notifications.
You did the right thing by checking windows updates.
Delete the email it's most definately a hoax, and don't download/install
what they're asking at all.
