Received a security notice from PayPal fregarding unauthorized access to my account. Dowloaded a link back to what looks like PaYal, but asking for all my Profile info. Is this for real?

•The email uses a generic greeting like 'Dear user' or 'Hello, PayPal member’.
•The email requests financial and other personal information.
•The email includes an attachment, a software update to install on your computer.
