Is this message really from MSN - or is it a spam?

.NET Messenger Service Staff says:
You are running a version of messenger that requires an
immediate security update. Please visit
http://messenger.msn.com/Help/Upgrades.aspx to complete
the update.


I wanted to check it out before I clicked on it. Please
advise.

Thanks!

Maby going to 5.0 instead of jumping to 6.0 may be a good idea
too....depends on what you want to do also concerning that..
