Important - Security Hole in Adobe Acrobat

If you use the Acrobat reader, and 90% of us do, update it to the latest version immediately.
"Adobe Reader 8.1 and earlier versions, Adobe Acrobat Standard, Professional and Elements 8.1 and earlier versions, and Adobe Acrobat 3D have a dangerous code execution vulnerability which could allow hackers to use malign PDF files to take control of Window XP computers with Internet Explorer 7 installed"

Re: Important - Security Hole in Adobe Acrobat

Thanks for the warning Roger/Baza. In typical style I've been ignoring the updater whenever I've opened a pdf for a while now (always more interested in getting on with reading the document), but updating it now
