Warning- Fake Microsoft update is a Trojan
-----------------------------------------

An e-mail purporting to be a critical Microsoft update KB910721 is doing the rounds.
It looks very real, but MS does not operate that way. I did a trace on it and saw it originated in Romania. The last time I checked Microsoft was not located there.

Anyway, I also checked on the internet and its identified as a Trojan, if anyone is gullible enough to follow the redirect link.

Here is the info on it:
