in the last day I have had emails purporting to be from adobe and also skype offering software updates. They look very real but I noticed they both go to a similar web address which includes their company name. There are a few like this going round very recently, it is said to be a phishing attack but not much on the security sites yet.

So be careful folks, these do look authentic as they may be dressed up as an update or newsletter from a software company you know of and are probably registered with! I had the sense or luck not to click any further on the first one, adobe, just because I do not like the product, but it was a close thing, I nearly did. Goodness knows how my email got on their list but it is recorded on a few forums (meant to be private but) - time for a change!
