No no no and just case you don't understand nooooooo. Never open an
attachment from a message like this. I didn't get one, but Microsoft
wouldn't contact you this way. If they have a problem with some servers,
they put a link im the e-mail. so don't ever open things like that!!!

The message says; "Dear friend, use this patch immidiately.  Over 500 000 is
affected already."
