You should NEVER click on an 'update notice' in an email, always go direct to the program site

Here's how to do a REAL Windows update
Click the START window pane in the lower left corner
Click SETTINGS at the upper right of the pop up
Click WINDOWS UPDATE at the bottom of the left column
Click the blue CHECK FOR UPDATES at the upper right

 

For all other programs go to the website for that program to check for an update

    That link is not about updates inside Windows, it is about clicking a link in an email from a scammer
