Microsoft sends security updates but NEVER with attachments.
This has been around a short while.
The attachment is most likely a virus.
Delete the Email and attachment immediately.

On the rare occasion Microsoft sends a file, you would be expecting it
in advance and know exactly what it is.
Install an antivirus application.
Update your antivirus weekly.
Run it weekly.
Install or enable a firewall:
