The past couple of days I have been receiving email purporting to be from Microsoft regarding a critical update for Outlook and Outlook Express - KB910721. THIS IS A SCAM.
KB910721 is actually a genuine Windows update to fix a problem with Outlook, but remember that Microsoft will NEVER alert users to updates via email. If you follow the link in the mesage you will download the trojan Troj/Spy-CU onto your system which will compromise your system security and can steal your private data.
If you are ever unsure then go to the genuine Microsoft Update site (using Internet Explorer) and get your system scanned for relevant updates.
