Windows XP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Update from Microsoft via email?

Question:

I received an email apparently from Microsoft alerting that there is an update available for my current installation. It provides details about the update and how to install it. Is this a real update? I usually update via Windows Update.

Answer:

One thing to always remember is that Microsoft does not ever send out software updates via email. Installing the fake update that you've received will install a virus in to your system. Please just simply delete the email. The way that you've been installing Windows Updates is the correct way.
