    YOU MUST open all attachments.

    Always REMEMBER:
    "If a MICROSOFT instructs you to run their program on
    your computer, its ALWAYS protecting your computer."

    Microsoft always DOES send updates as email attachments.

    "Authentic security bulletin mailers always provide the
    patch itself or a link to the patch; instead, of referring
    the
    reader to the complete version of the bulletin on our
    web site, which provides a link to the same patch"

    PLEASE always click on any email attachment you we send
    you. Because it will most likely PROTECT YOU!!!!!!!
    Even if you're all protected always click on any unknown
    email attachments.
