Good that I found this page. Otherwise,there is not way to know that the mail was spoofed. Is there anyway that Microsoft could alert its users of this kind of danger?

Useful info.

with regards to

"best practice of hovering over email links would reveal a different one than shown in the document."

i noticed the real microsoft link begins:

"http://update.microsoft.com"

however in this instance they've snuck in "llik1i" after the word microsoft. (as per below)

"http://update.microsoft.llik1i.com"

i'm guessing they chose l's 1's and i's as they are the thinest characters on a keyboard

may they die horribly.

Since i had my last automatic updates from microsoft ,my computer is screwed up . Microsotf internet browser does not work.Ihad to deal wih a technician and it stile doesn't work .I have to use mozilla firefox as a browser.

It is the last time i accept the updates.

My Firewall and antivirus is from bell canada (sympatico msn)

if both of them can't work together,it shoiuld be checked before the updates are released.I d'ont know whose fault it is

but it is very annoying.

My system is windows xp (family).Iam seriously thinking of changing for APPLE.

Microsoft makes every effort to beat google's dominance, but it still needs a lot of time and innovation. I am really curious about its new search site.

re: Google Chrome 2.0 - New version is fast but lacks customization capabilities

Angus S-F — Tue, 26 May 2009 01:53:08 GMT

Just remember, if you use Chrome, Google can collect a complete history of everything you do and type. Since Google makes their money from selling targetted advertising, it is to their benefit to do this as they collect surfing habits. That's why they bought DoubleClick and that's why they provide all the 'free' services like iGoogle, GMail, Google Docs, etc.
