DSTM Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Hi Guys.All the Security risks with Adobe reader,of late,and no patch yet,wondering if you guys think it safer to uninstall Adobe Reader 9, and get a substitute like FOXIT READER. Thanks.:) Adobe Flaw Heightens Risk of Encountering Malicious PDFs - PC World What Forum does Security Advisories go?I wonder.

RandyL Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I can't commment on any security risks with Foxit as I just don't know. But yes there is a risk at this time with Adobe. Turning off Java from the Adobe options will offer some measure of security but not completely as it can still be exploited but not as easy. It's a never ending game with these malware guys isn't it? So keep that security updated. Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

DSTM Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks for the reply,Randy. I have disabled Java. Adobe says it will be March 11, before it can be patched.
