Wow!!  I just finished downloading 6 Windows security updates!!  However, I got the regular Windows update notification on my taskbar and I went to the regular Windows Update page, so I assume I'm safe!!  Knowing that it usually comes like that, I don't think I'd fall for an e-mail notice.

I downloaded security updates last night....I went to the microsoft windows update page and installed them from there....I didn't have an problems... I never do anything like that from an email, and I chose "custom install", as I usually do.
