I get at least one of these per day at work.  Funny, these emails contain
real links to the actual  Microsoft Security pages where it states that
Microsoft never sends out updates as attachments!   Looking at the message
details, they look like the actual sender is normal folk, so I wonder if
they have a worm going, sending these out ???"

NEVER OPEN AN ATTACHMENT unless you already know who sent it and what it is.
