It is bogus and unless you have some form of blocking for SPAM you will
continue to get it.
 
I keep getting an e-mail from (e-mail address removed)
telling me that I need to download the attached Internet
Explorer patch immediately. Has anyone else gotten this
email. I get up to 10 per day. Needless to say, I have
not downloaded it. I did block that address. Thanks for
any help or ideas.
 
Some devious person is "spoofing" Microsoft. The email message is
not from Microsoft and should be deleted immediately!

Please take a moment to read the following article:

What attached IE patch?

It probably is bogus and besides, a legit download would only come from a
microsoft.com site.
