On the other end of that spectrum, it seems MS have had large teams of QA people doing proactive outreach for security problems. My family members have been contacted 6 times in the past 2 years, each time to let them know that MS had detected a security problem and they needed to help us install a patch immediately.

How would you distinguish between MS personnel and scammers calling your house to have you install malware?

[egeozcan]

That was sarcasm, if I'm not mistaken. Nobody from Microsoft would call you for patching security problems.

Not sure if joking, as that sounds like a scam call...

Probably forgot the <sarcasm> tag.
