Hello,

FYI:
There's a well crafted spam email out today, keep your eyes out for it.
Here at the office, we're receiving a bogus email on 25% of our computers, it snuck past anti-virus and spam filters, if you get it, do not click on the link.
Online I found the following quote which explains why this is bogus:
"Keep in mind Microsoft does NOT ever send you email updates, they are all done within windows itself. The attached payload of this virus is called Troj/Spy-CU and is in fact a trojan, which may capture your keystrokes and logons to your banking and other critical personal information."
Here is a what the message looks like:
