Here we go again, this spoof email is going to FOOL a lot of people....
I just received this spoof email that appears to be a legitimate security update from Microsoft. I have so get so many spoof emails that looks like a PayPal or eBay email that I'm very careful about any email asking for passwords, credit card #, ss#, update personl information, my name of my 1st born child. :-) If I'm not sure if it's a spoof email I go to the website .....(DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK IN THE EMAIL)
That's my 2 cents worth.
