Install now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches. At the end is an attachment called (installer6.exe). My question, is this legit? I can't recall ever getting an update as an attachment. I don't want to click the download, just in case it is a virus. Any suggestions as to how to verify this?
