I got one last night. Looks quite official, but it has an attachment called installer.exe.

I binned the email.
Anyone else seen it?
There is a warning on Microsoft's site about how they never send out emails regarding viruses e.t.c.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

It's not from Microsoft (as you probably guessed). The sender is abusing the fact that any email address can be spoofed.
