There is an email going round pretending to be from Adobe offering a new version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
It is a scam or phishing email as when you click on the link it downloads a “zipped” file that contains potentially harmful files.
PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK. PLEASE JUST DELETE THE EMAIL.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THIS FILE, PLEASE INFORM THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR IT
Below is a copy of the email that is being sent out
