PSA - Computer Scam

Not that I was ever in danger, but there's a new virus threat going around. If you get anything with a subject line - "Obama Amazing Speech" or similar, just delete it.

Snopes says it's valid.

From what Snopes says, it's not the email itself, but a link that will send you to a website that tells you to download a "new version of Adobe Acrobat" when what you are actually downloading is keylogger spyware. Don't do it. Bad juju.

You can now return to your regularly scheduled activities.

Any time you need to download a "new version of" anything to view something--software, video codec, plugin, where they supply the link it is almost certainly a scam of some sort. If you can't resist the bait and have convinced yourself it is one of the 2% that are legit, the software maker's site will have the update you need--Go there directly.
