ACCC has received reports of a spam email titled ”ご注意！！OFFICEのプロダクトキーが不正コピーされています (Warning!! Your Office product key has been illegally copied)”. Please ignore it if you receive it.

The older versions (older than version 11) of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) reached the end of support as of January 13, 2016 (Japan time).
And the security patches provided on the day were the last ones.
Check your version of IE, and if you are running an older version, we recommend you should upgrade it to IE 11, the latest version, as quickly as possible.
Since they no longer receive new security patches, they are vulnerable to security threats such as computer viruses. This could cause information leakage as well as malfunction in them.

[Method]
How to Check Your Version of Internet Explorer:

■Windows 7 SP1
The latest version of IE for Windows 7 SP1 is IE 11.
Check your version, and if it is earlier than 11, download the latest version from the URL below:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie-11-worldwide-languages

■Windows 8
On Windows 8, only IE 10 is available, and you need to upgrade to Windows 8.1.

■Windows 8.1 & Windows 10
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are equipped with IE 11, so you do not need to do anything.
