Silly question, maybe.............

I have received notification that updates have been
downloaded and can be installed. They are nos
KB828035,825119,823182 and 824141

How do I know that these are genuine updates from
Microsoft and are safe to install? Simply because they
claim to come from Microsoft and are in the typical
format doesnt mean that they are genuine. Or does it?

Comments/reassurance welcome.

That they claim to come from MS and look like one is
used to seeing doesn't mean squat.
If you can click the Windows Update icon and have
them installed then they likely are just fine, as someone
would have had to go to quite a bit of effort to spoof that.
