| Virus warning: update to Acrobat 9 now.
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!
