Patch for Adobe PDF reader
The security hole in Adobe’s PDF reader mentioned earlier has been patched, at least for version 8 of the reader. Version 7 is still vulnerable. The patch can be obtained at this link. Russian hacker gangs are reported to be exploiting the security hole. According to Adobe, only users of Windows XP who have Internet Explorer 7 installed are at risk from such attacks.
Use Firefox as a browser and Foxit as a reader and you avoid this and other problems as well.
