			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>I&#8217;ve seen a number of emails recently which appear to be from Microsoft with advice about a critical patch you need to install.  </p>
<p>The latest one was titled &#8220;Install Critical Update for Microsoft Outlook&#8221; regarding patch &#8220;<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>officexp-KB910721-FullFile-ENU.exe</strong>&#8220;</span></p>
<p>Delete these emails &#8211; they&#8217;re not legit!   MS would never email you with advice like this as you should be using automatic updates to receive any patches from them.</p>
<p>TIP:</p>
<p>If you hover your mouse over the link in the email &#8211; you&#8217;ll see that it doesn&#8217;t actually link back to Microsoft &#8211; instead it links back to a random address that &#8220;looks&#8221; like Microsoft.  In my example it was linking to a site along the lines of update.microsoft.com.1lfx.mx.com.   If you don&#8217;t pay attention &#8211; it&#8217;s easy to miss the &#8220;1lfx.mx.com&#8221; and think that this is linking to MS.</p>
