1318096 2012-12-13 21:49:00 Read it with an Indian accent and it makes more sense. nerd89 (14761)
1318097 2012-12-13 21:52:00 It's just another spam email. Microsoft do not send you emails.
Use common sense, what do updates (assuming that's what it is trying to imply with it's "installation" BS) have to do with emails?
