Plus many of the Adobe products already have an auto update, it will go out on its own and offer updates. Email is NEVER a way to offer updates.

I dont email anything. Updates, order status, none of it. I go to the site and check it out. I learned this the hard way.

I read it out of curiosity and laughed, thinking it was a scam I thought Adobe did regular updates when needed and I deleted the email
