Virus warning: update to Acrobat 9 now.
 
:cry:

theres a security hole in older versions of Adobe Acrobat reader that lets in a virus "windows security" bullshit.

update to the latest acrobat reader and you should be fine.

the virus hijacks your pc and pretends to be a legit windows antivrus program. it continally spams you with FALSE infections and tries to make you buy their shit cure.

be warned

i've had that shitty malware before and it's really annoying, because i know i only installed 'proper' programs yet i STILL got it. that would make sense to me, because acrobat was one of the 'safe' programs i always installed!

I've seen halogodv2 just fail people for no apparent reason. No posts in the thread, just fails... :confused:

Foxit FTW. Unless you have to use Acrobat Pro. :p

Psykopathik 12-21-2009 09:32 AM

i realized that my main pc was using acrobat 6 for fucks sake. weird. then again i hate when adobe tries to make you update. always happens when im actually working on shit.

all my other PC's were on 9. i wondered why only my min Rig kept getting infected
