Heads up for possible fraudulent email from Adobe with links

  CAUTION- Beware of an email from Adobe Systems asking you to upgrade to a new version of Acrobat X PDF Reader. It contains the subject line- "Get more done, much faster, with new update Acrobat PDF Reader. Upgrade Available Now"

The email appears fraudulent and similar to one used in a phishing scheme back in December. I have already contacted Adobe about it.
 
The return email address reads from: Adobe Systerm Incorporated <adobe@news.mondino.de>  Looked flakey to me.

    Thank you!  I had this in my "to-do" list for the day and hadn't gotten to it yet...  it'll be heading to the trash bin, now.

    I'd suggest running an anti virus and malware scan just to be safe.

    Let me get out of the way first.  Those things have a tendency to register me as a false positive.

    i always do..its not my daw either but im a master at anti virus.that is one thing i specialize with.iv done my share of pulling out a few good ones in the past.
    i download all files on the net to a second computer then scan the flash drives before they go to my daw.
