What does the email header say about the source?
That one looks dodgy.
We usually see reports here of mass mailings from Netgear, seeking authentication help.
If you haven't sent a request of any sort – seeking an password change here for example – it looks like one of those phishing expeditions.

Sorry for the long wait on responding, just have a lot going on. I just ignored it. I wasn't sure if it had to do something with the problems I was having getting ReadyCloud to work and the two different emails I tried setting up for it to get it to work. Regardles, I ignored it and everything is working fine still so, I don't know. Didn't know where to put the code that was in it anyway.
