Did you see the part of the link that said the alert was likely a scam? Sounds to me like the people who cold call people and tell them their Windows computer is broken have moved on. The fact your Uni's IT department sent an e-mail from email.it smells extremely suspicious to me. Why would they use a 3rd party e-mail solution instead of their own email system? Call your Uni's IT department and confirm the report came from them. Garyhelp
