ADOBE PDF SCAM

Beware of an email that begins:


REF: INTRODUCING UPGRADED ADOBE ACROBAT 2010
 
Dear Customers,

 
Adobe is pleased to announce new version upgrades for Adobe Acrobat 2010. 
 

Suspicions were aroused as there is no mention of payment on the very professional looking linked website.

A quick Google search brought up plenty of warnings about the malware that will infect your computer should you try and download this software.

See:

Remember: "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is."
