I received an email in my Hotmail account today that is from the following email address:  "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"

It indicates a DGTFX virus has been detected in my hotmail account and I must provide the following information within 2 weeks or my account will be terminated in order to stop the virus from transferring to other accounts.  It says they will upgrade me to a new secured DGTFX anti-virus software.

It wants me to provide:  Full name, user name, password, date of birth, country.

I am concerned this is a hoax.

Can anyone advise if this email is legitimate?
