Judging by the email you posted, this is an email that didn't make it to you. It was stopped by antivirus on one of the mail servers that you accessed, or that the email was distributed through.

I have got those faux security updates from time to time. Scanning them with norton reveals thew same thing.

I am certainly glad I know better then to open an attachment without scanning it.

In this case you are better off by going to windows update then trust some e-mail
