Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Following instructions in security alerts e-mailed to you, especially those claiming to be from large corporations like Microsoft, can be risky. These emails can be phishing attempts or contain malicious links. Legitimate security updates should be obtained directly from the official website or through the software's update mechanism, not through unsolicited emails.
