I am get an email from "microsoft" that I do not open
because the suject is USE THIS PATCH IMMEDIATELY.
Is this email really from Microsoft? They keep sending
after I erease it, so they know that I have not used it.

If it a patch that I need, I want to use it!

Does anyone know what is happening with this "patch" email?

Thanks,

Sam
