Please do not upgrade your Adobe reader if you received email to do so.

Over the weekend I received an email title “introducing upgraded adobe acrobat reader” asking user to upgrade their adobe reader software. After looking carefully at this email I realized that adobe usually would not send such email. Typically; upgrade notification are prompted when you open the application not notification via email.

Please do not click any link to upgrade your software if you received such email.

See sample below
