Fake McAfee Site via Email Links

F-Secure has reported instances of fake emails from McAfee with links that point to a bogus site with downloads that contain viruses. Applications do not update themselves by having their parent company send emails encouraging users to visit sites. Be aware what software is installed on your PC. Determine which of these update automagically and keep a grip on what URL's correspond to what websites. If in doubt do not click that link! Never respond to unsolicited emails.
