I don't know about this specifically but I have NEVER, in over a decade of using MS products, heard of MS emailing updates out to people, unsolicited. I would only go near enough to the attachment to delete it! Especially since you got it 4 times!

I was seriously wondering if everyone else is getting the following
message including the attachment. I've got 4 seperate copies in my
inbox, and got to thinking that I wonder if the attachment might
actually be a virus. It would be trivial for someone to attach a virus
and spoof the header and use that to ship/install a trojan/worm/virus.
As I NEVER run any attachments except those from REALLY trusted
individuals, I thought I would ask what you all know of this one. Do
you really think this is lagit?
