R6250: Email Notification: Valid or Phoney?

Received email notice about an upgrade to protect Netgear from e.netgear.com.  Is this valid or a setup to trouble?

Unware of that site...But, as always, if unsure , stay away till you know other wise

 

I never open emails from unknowns

A good thing to do is to hover over the address to ensure it's the same as what's displayed or view the header details.  Spam will usually have a displayed address but a different one when viewing the details.

    Thanks for the help.  I did go ahead and upgrade my Netgear.
