Is this mail from Cogeco legitimate?

I today received an email from Cogeco with "Upgrade/Scan your Mailbox" in the subject line.

The sender was:
COGECO CUSTOMER SUPPORT (kimnewcombe@cogeco.ca)

I have not opened the mail, but looking at it's source, only content was:

Please Click Here to Remove the threat in your mailbox and also Upgrade/Scan your Mailbox.

Is this a legit email, and what is it about?

This is fake...

An official email would not come thru a (true or fake) residential account mail address.

Cogeco will never ask you to click on a link "to remove the threat"...

We'd rather give you information on the threat and ask that you do a scan from your own AV or from Cogeco's official Online Scanner...
