Just a heads up, a spammed malware is currently making the rounds on the net posing as Microsoft Update.

The trojan is making use of the fact that there are a lot of Microsoft vulnerabilities surfacing and the paranoia that it makes on the users.

It spams an email with these details

From: update@microsoft.com
Subject: Warning! New Virus On The Internet! Update Now!

The email contains a url directing it to the malware link.

It certainly looks legitimate as the link looks like this

update.microsoft.[blank]/[blank].exe

except its not from Microsoft and its certainly NOT legitimate.

Not to worry though because the file has already been sent to our engineers and is currently being processed.

Also, so as to not be duped by this kind of attack and still be able to protect your system from the new vulnerabilities that is plaguing Microsoft, just go to the Microsoft site and don’t go there using links through emails or forums. To be safe open Internet Explorer and under tools menu click Windows Update, that will surely take you to the right update page.
