		</div><p>Hackers are exploiting Microsoft’s offer of free upgrades to its new Windows 10 operating system, researchers have said.</p>
<p>Security experts are warning about a wave of bogus spam emails with malicious attachments, labelled as if they are legitimate copies of the new programme.</p>
<p>The attachments contain a “ransomware” programme that, when opened, locks all the data on a computer and demands payment to release them.</p>
<p>Researchers at Cisco Systems say the emails are designed to look like an official upgrade notice from Microsoft, but several words have random, out-of-place letters and punctuation.</p>
<p>Another important clue is that Microsoft says its update mechanism provides computer owners with a notice on their screens – not via email – when a direct internet download is available.</p>
<p>Experts have warned against clicking on files that come with unsolicited emails.</p>
