►Before
installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1, back up your important files to external
hard disk, DVD or CD, USB flash drive, or network folders
►BEWARE OF EMAILS WITH
WINDOWS 7 COMPATABILITY CHECKER ATTACHMENT.
The attachment is a Trojan, which looks like the legitimate Windows 7 Upgrade

and credit card data. Instead go straight to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
-- and never ever run a program included as an email
attachment.
