Why did I recieve this?
|
I just received an email which appears to be from Microsoft.
The subject is:Upgrade your internet explorer for FREE
And the message itself says:

Its true I haven't upgraded IE6 to IE7 since I reinstalled XP in the early part of 2007 but I use Firefox and it wasn't top priority as id had a few problems after installing it before.
I just wondered if it was a genuine email or spam and if its genuine why they had sent me a message like that?
Thanks In Advance

I thought so and just deleted it.
Could the reason the email was like this be because Microsoft had blocked an attachment or something malicious?
EDIT: Just read on the link you gave me that the links in the email could have been spoofed good job I didn't click either of them!
