I keep getting emails, ostensibly from 'Microsoft Corporation Network Public
Services <[email protected]>' which say that 'this is
the latest version of security update, the
"September 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all
known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer,
Outlook and Outlook Express as well as five newly discovered
vulnerabilities.' and have attachments (today's is update971.exe) which I am
advised to run.
So far I've deleted them - but are they genuine? They have apparently
genuine links to MS web sites and email addresses. I note that the Windows
Update web site is now windowsupdate.microsoft.com, though.
