I recently received an email that was in my junk mail supposedly from Microsoft stating I needed to sign a new agreement to keep my hotmail account and other services from Microsoft. It needed information such as my home address, phone number. It also stated if I did not sign the agreement I would lose all microsoft products. I don't know if this is a scam but it sounded suspicious to me. Did Microsoft send out a document to all users. I can cut and paste it here if you want me to. Thank you.

I have a question about the new Microsoft Services Agreement in October 2012:
"The Microsoft branded services require that you sign into your Microsoft account periodically, at a minimum every 270 days, to keep the Microsoft branded services portion of the services active, unless provided otherwise in an offer for a paid portion of the services. If you fail to sign in during this period, we may cancel your access to the Microsoft branded services. If the Microsoft branded services are canceled due to your failure to sign in, your data may be permanently deleted from our servers."
Does Windows Live Mail do this for me automatically (sign me in) when I download and read my mail offline? Or, do I have to actually sign-in with my username and password occasionally?
In the Finder, under Devices, click the hard disk where Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is installed.
Open the Applications folder, and then drag the Microsoft Office 2011 folder to the Trash.
Close the Applications folder, open the Library folder, and then drag the following files to the Trash.
Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointBrowserPlugin.plugin
Internet Plug-Ins/SharePointWebKitPlugin.plugin
LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist
Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist
PrivilegedHelperTools/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper

Note In Snow Leopard, you also have to delete all Office 2011 receipts in /private/var/db/receipts/. (Snow Leopard moved receipts into this hidden directory, only available by “Go to Folder” in the Finder, or from the command terminal.) On the Finder menu, click Empty Trash.
Restart your computer.
Install Office for Mac again.
How can I get SyncServices to stop looking for this identity?
