I wouldnt normally post a scam but this one is very good and I can see a lot of people getting caught out
Guys if you get the email below in your mailbox delete it, dont open it or follow the link
Microsoft dont send out updates by email,
if you follow the link expect some trouble, this is one of the best I have seen for a while and made me think a bit, to the naked eye it looks legit, it looks just like the microsoft update page, sadly the download isnt, its a script that will cause some exploits to your pc and you will join the list of millions sending mail out to others.
its only when you hover over the link if your quick you will notice it actually takes you to Ferrateu.net
When I checked it out yesterday it resolves to Russian Ukranian Block, but the site itself was returning an SQL error no doubt overloaded with people downloading
I have made the link below safe
The real link is this
