Don't ever open attachments unless you're 100% of what you're doing. Look at
this:

VIRUS ALERT - W32.Sobig.F@mm is a mass-mailing, network-aware worm that sends
itself to all the email addresses it finds in certain files on your PC. If you
receive a message with an attachment with a .pif or .scr extension, we strongly
suggest you scan it before downloading. The message may appear to be from
someone you know.

Besides, I doubt that Microsoft will send you such a mail. Usually upgrades and
patches are done through the Automatic Update.

Regards,

  Jaime
