Beware email from "patch@microsoft.com"
There's spam going around that pretends to be from Microsoft and pretends to include a patch for a "WinLogon Service" vulnerability. Don't touch it, it's not from Microsoft and it's evil.
The "From" address in email is as easy to fake as the return address on a physical letter, and that's why Microsoft has decided and promised that they will never send out security pathes by email. Some things might be forged: email claiming to have a security fix from Microsoft is certain to be forged
