The scammers have been sending out bogus spam emails
claiming to be from Microsoft. Attached to the emails are files that the emails
claim to be the upgrade, but instead contain “ransomware” that locks all of the
data in the infected computer and then demands payment to release the data.
Cisco Systems says that the emails are designed to look like
an official Microsoft upgrade notice. However, several words have random,
out-of-place letters and punctuation.
Microsoft is not upgrading older versions of Windows to
Windows 10 via email! Over the past few weeks, Microsoft has installed a “Get
Windows 10” app located in the tray at the bottom of the computer’s screen on
computers that use Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1. It is only through this app that
you can upgrade to Windows 10. If you did not get the app, go to this link for
suggestions on how to get it: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade.
Remember, Microsoft will not contact you to upgrade to
Windows 10! Delete any emails that claim to be for the Windows 10 upgrade. Do
not click on any links or on any attachments.
