Microsoft patch

[Dale]

Hi Charles, In the last week I received 2 MS emails.
One was a virus that said Load This Patch Immediately.
The other was legit. The email that was legit didn't
have an attachment but instead had a link that directed
me to Microsoft Security Site where I was able to run the
auto update on my computer. From there I chose which
patches to install. I hope this helps.
