I received a message with the Subject: Latest Network
Critical Update. Attached was a file
called "Update52.exe" and the recommendation, under
Microsoft's banner to run. The email included links to
the MS website.
When I scanned for updates at MS, I received no critical
updates. Is the .exe file for real or a hoax? I thought
MS never sent updates by email. Is this still the case?
The email address was "Microsoft Corporation Customer
Assistance [[email protected]]" and the
message said:
"Install now to maintain the security of your computer
from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which
could allow an attacker to run executable on your system.
This update includes the functionality of all previously
released patches."
