On the other end of that spectrum, it seems MS have had large teams of QA people doing proactive outreach for security problems. My family members have been contacted 6 times in the past 2 years, each time to let them know that MS had detected a security problem and they needed to help us install a patch immediately.

How would you distinguish between MS personnel and scammers calling your house to have you install malware?

That was sarcasm, if I'm not mistaken. Nobody from Microsoft would call you for patching security problems.

Not sure if joking, as that sounds like a scam call...
