I got the same pop-up and clicking on it produced an error saying I
needed a browser (which I already have obviously). That pop-up had a
button to send an error report, but clicking there produced another
pop-up error saying there was no program associated with it. I would
copy and paste the exact messages but Windows does not allow me to
select any of the text. I tried to contact Microsoft about the
problem but one of the ActiveX controls on their website crashed my
PC, so my message might not get through. The bugs could indicate
either hackers or Microsoft, but based on the fact that one of the bug-
ridden pop-ups advertised MSN I'm guessing genuine Microsoft.

I clicked on the provided tab in the message. It took me to Ms Money site
ending up with a blank page. How come?

Also, the update is not to the Money program on your computer. You
may have to take action as a consequence, and the link is to the
documentation on a Microsoft web site.

I think it is genuine. I clicked on the dialog box and it took me to the
Microsoft site. However, I did not need the message because it says it's only
applicable if you use a MS Passport login with your Money file which I do
not. There were instructions listed as to how to perform the update.

I am getting the same message. I wasn't able to find anything on Microsoft's
website about it.

Hello everyone:
Is this warning from Microsoft genuine?
I use MS Money06. Today when I started the program I got a warning message
Dialogue Box with a title from MS Money stating that there is a serious and
critical banking update for Money and asking to click on a tab to receive
instructions about how to upgrade. I know that money updates are automatic
and I have never before have had a situation like this. Therefore I am
suspecting if this is a genuine message from MS.
Has anyone seen one or has info on this?
Tthanx!
