=============================================================
If you receive an e-mail message that claims to be distributing
a Microsoft security update, it is a hoax that may contain
malware or pointers to malicious Web sites. Microsoft does
not distribute security updates via e-mail.
The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) uses PGP to digitally
sign all security notifications. However, it is not required to read
security notifications, security bulletins, security advisories, or
install security updates. You can obtain the MSRC public PGP key at
