Adobe Email Fraud?

So I get two copies of the same email but they are addressed to my old email address I haven't used in the past 8-9 years. I'm thinking the attached .zip file might do some harm.

"Hello Dear,

Adobe is pleased to announce new version upgrades for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe X Suite
Advanced features include:

- Collaborate across borders
- Create rich, polished PDF files from any application that prints
- Ensure visual fidelity
- Encrypt and share PDF files more securely
- Use the standard for document archival and exchange

To upgrade and enhance your work productivity today please open attached file.

Delete that puppy.

Adobe does not propagate updates via zip files attached to emails.

Pretty much any unsolicited email that wants you to open an attached zip is bad news.

Good rule of thumb...
