As others have pointed out, Microsoft does not send emails regarding updates. Don't click on any links in the message and delete it. If you are concerned about Windows/Microsoft updates make sure you have automatic updates enabled. You can also go to the "real" Windows Update site by clicking on "Windows Update". It should be on your Start Menu somewhere. A good rule of thumb is to never, ever respond to or click on any links in an email regarding program updates or an email asking you to verify your username, password, or personal information. Those kinds of emails are either contain viruses, send you to a malicious website, or try to steal your personal information. If in doubt contact the company in question directly using the websites, email addresses, and telephone numbers you usually use to contact them. I hope this helps! Kim
