Cheers me101 for this email he received from "Passport", shame I didn't get it :(
Looks like at least microsoft are getting the right idea, any users who have a Microsoft passport account should be getting this email, excellent idea, wish they would do this to all Microsoft Passport users as this would get the word out to have your browsers and your computer secure.

IF CLICKING A LINK DOESN'T WORK...
Copy it, and then paste it into your browser's address bar.
Select the entire link (which starts with http:// and may include more than one line) and then copy it, usually by clicking the "Edit" menu item and then clicking "Copy". Next, open your browser and click in the box where you usually see the Web page address. Paste the link into this box (usually by clicking "Paste" in the "Edit" menu) and click "Go" or "Enter".
