Adobe PDF Reader Phish Warning

Phish and Spam are never a tasty match.
As most of you know, Adobe's products have a built in updater that will prompt you not from e-mail, but from your systray on your computer. There not a a reason for them to e-mail you directly for an update.
Another red flag, the spam mail uses a physical address for itself - but that comes back to a Canadian Online Insurance company, Adobe is in San Jose, California - Not Canada. Who wants to bet there was a recent "claim denied" letter in the mix somewhere in this drama?
Anyway, if you see the below email - delete it don't click it. Unless you want to spend the rest reading our
Malware Removal Guide.
Enjoy.
