This morning - more than 1 year after sakaSFD5's post - I received the same notifice (my screenshot, uploaded with this post, demonstrates the notice has not improved in any respect). It is also apparent that this has been happening to others for several years. This annoying, persistent notice looks and behaves as if its malware, popping up and down two or three times per minute, with nothing to verify it really is from Adobe and no way to get rid of it. First I verified that my subscription to my Adobe apps is active and paid up to date, then, still convinced it was malware, wasted well over an hour of my billable time (1) running a malware scan of my computer, (2) searching this forum, (3) running Chat gpt inquiries, and (4) otherwise searching online and following recommendations on how to get rid of this nuisance. Finally, in Acrobat Pro I checked for and found an available update, ran the update, and what do you know: this ridiculous notice, that looks as if some hack created it to entice someone to click on one of its two buttons so it could implant a virus, immediately disappeared. It really did originate from Adobe. I can't for the life of me understand why Adobe would create such an unprofessional notice - that goes to paid-up Adobe customers - apparently oblivious to the fact that it looks like a scammer hackjob, with no means for legitimate users to know otherwise. Adobe, you should at least apologize to your customers, and please fix this so it doesn't happen to other legitmate customers.
