Haven't seen the mail so don't know what the suggestions are. I hope it's
not important as I have no idea what is meant by "XP Profile"! I agree with
your reservations and definitely would not click any links in that email.
If nothing is posted at the Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows XP,
or Security pages on microsoft.com in regards to this, I would say the
email was *not* legitimate.
FYI: There is a security newsletter for home users that is available.
