Explorer 7? Is what you just pasted the whole email?

I'm guessing its some kind of spam, as the only product I think they can be refering to is Internet Explorer 7, but I don't know why they would be emailing people about it now. Also, the admin@microsoft.com email is a little suspicious, as they would probably use a more helpful email.
Also, the unsubscribe link seems to link direct to the MSN page, not much about unsubscribing there.

But then again, I don't know what the point of this would be if it is spam, as its not trying to get you to download anything, give your password or sell you anything.

Regularly seeing this - delete it is some kind of spam, there is usually a link to click in the message that will take you to a malware site and attempt to install something or trick you into installing something - avoid like the plague.


DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK WHATSOEVER NOT EVEN TO UNSUBSCRIBE !!!!

Thanks for all replies. There was a download link. I could not copy it without the fear of clicking on it.
I usually delete funny emails, this did look very good though.

If you are not already using it, I would recommend you purchase and install Mailwasher Pro from Firecrest. An excellent piece of software that allows you to view your emails on your ISP's server and delete any that look suspicious before downloading those you want. One of its benefits is that it displays the true link hiding behind a false one.

Have already got mailwasher free version. This email did look very good and even with mailwasher it will not help if you click the link.
