Have you been getting a “Microsoft Outlook Critical Update” notices in your inbox?
Have you been receiving more ‘phishing’ attempts in your email?
You might not even know it?
Lately I have been receiving one that say it is a “Critical Update”
and it looks like it comes from Microsoft.
The Subject Line says “Microsoft Outlook Critical Update”
It identifies itself as:
“Update for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express (KB910721)”
It says:
Brief Description
Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook
Express. This update is critical and provides you with the latest
version of the Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express and offers the
highest level of security and stability.
And then it is followed by “Instructions” to go to a supposed
Microsoft site to do a download that will ‘fix your Outlook right
up’.
Well ** DO NOT CLICK THAT DOWNLOAD LINK ** – It’s Virus Laden!
- don’t pay any attention to it and just erase it immediately.

Many times when you receive an email you think might be a phishing
email or scam, you can just take the message and enter the subject
line into Google’s Search box and if it is a scam – it will usually
already be identified there.
This can definitely save you some headaches.
Just search the Subject line wording at Google, Snopes, Scam.com
and TruthorFiction.com and you’ll almost always have your answer
as to whether or not you can trust that email.
I hope bringing you this information saves some computer problems
and infiltrations from happening to some of you.
No one wants that nightmare, believe me – been there, done that
