"Action Required" email from Adobe?

[ha98ed14]

Did anyone get an email from Adobe telling them that they needed to download the Upgraded Adobe Acrobat? I am suspicious because I have never gotten an email telling me I needed to update my adobe software. I think it might be a hoax/ virus.

I did get it...I trashed it. I don't know if it's for real or not, but I just don't want an update so...

I would go to the Adobe website and see if there's any info there, either about a critical update, or about a scam. I'm like PPs, I'd assume it was a big fat scam.

Got it here, too. Deleted without opening. As pp said, visit their website to see if there is anything you need to do.
