It would appear to be spam that provides a link to may or may not be malicious software. I believe it is best to not open it and DO NOT click on the link provided. John Dunkle will be along shortly once he see this and will clear all the PM's opened or not from everyones mailbox.

Just got it and deleted same. Had this happen a few months ago. Sure looks official, but I don't take chances these days, I fried a computer about six years ago opening and email from a friend that he actually hadn't sent me. I should have none, as the topic was something he would never have been part of.

Default Malware scam

DELETE IT!!

Worse part it would appear that sombody has done a good job at lifting or hacking the email address off this site.

It contains a Malware infection desigined as a rootkit and takes over your computer in a plishing attempt to get you to purchase their fake app.
