Default Windows Update Scam Fooling Users
Quote:
A new scam by hackers has some people believing they are receiving an e-mail about a critical update to Windows when in actuality they are installing a Trojan horse, Sophos said on Friday. The e-mail directs victims to a fake version of the Windows Update site, where there are links to download the malicious "patches."

I've had some emails like this in the past. I even enarly got tricked into giving my paypal account details to someone... Be careful
