Email from .NET and older versions of MSN

[detn8r]

I just recieved this email via .NET. Anyone know whats up with this? Someone hack old versions of MSN or something? Gotta love the lack of info they supply you with.

ATTENTION: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED FOR MSN AND WINDOWS MESSENGER USERS.

You are receiving this e-mail because you are a MSN Messenger or Windows
Messenger Service user.

As part of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative, Microsoft is
updating the .NET Messenger Service and providing you with an important
MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger security update.

If you are using MSN Messenger 5.0, Windows Messenger 4.7.2000, or MSN
Messenger for Mac 3.5, or any versions higher than these, you do NOT need
this security update. To find out which version you have, select the
'Help' menu in Messenger, then select 'About'. If you are using an older
version, or are not sure, please visit:

continue using your MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger Service.

Thank you for helping Microsoft further its commitment to helping you
protect your privacy and security online.

I've been having this problem for a long time now. And I've done the upgrade, so it's not that any more! I've even tried uninstalling the software, as I don't use it. Never wanted to. Now I definitely don't want to! I can't believe nobody else has replied to this, at least to comiserate. I hope someone comes up with an answer soon. MSN is on a lot of people's black-lists on other message boards I've been on looking for an answer!
