Want to know if Microsoft sends out "security notices" directly to consumers.  If so, how can we be sure it is from them and not some scammer.

Also want to know how to remove it when one has a security issue (actually several) with Microsoft and various other companies.

How can I be sure that it is being corrected.  I have several issues to cover and really do not want to send an email to the world.   If Microsoft

hears about this, as I feel they should be aware of it all, I think they should be interested at least

Thank you for any help you can provide.
