I received an email from Microsoft / Microsoft Support / Microsoft Internet Security Center claiming to be a security patch [or comprehensive Internet Explorer update]. Is this a virus?

| I am repeatedly receiving this update message from
| Microsoft:
|
| Microsoft Consumer
|
| This is the latest version of security update, the "March
| 2004, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all known
| security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer,
| MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express as well as three new
| vulnerabilities. Install now to maintain the security of
| your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most
| serious of which could allow an attacker to run code on
| your computer. This update includes the functionality of
| all previously released patches.
|
| Should I be installing this?
|
| When I try to download the update I only get so far and
| the screen goes blank. I have tried it several times and
| I always end up with the same problem. It appears as if
| it is going to download the update and the process begins
| correctly; however, I only get so far and then nothing
| happens. I end up with a blank screen with a little
| insignia at the top.
