More fake Windows updates

Today, I received several emails purporting to be from Microsoft and containing links for supposed critical updates. For example, one read:

Dear Windows User

A Critical Update is available for your version of Windows. Click here to begin installation. [I have removed the link- VL]

Thank you for your cooperation, protecting our customers is our number one priority.

Regards,
Windows Customer Support Agent #71

Needless to say, clicking on the link would be a bad idea. Microsoft does not distribute updates this way.
