Hi malware fighters,

The zero-day hole in Adobe Reader and Acrobat will not earlier be patched as the next patch round within three weeks’ time and hackers now abuse it actively to infect systems. An out-of-band patch for this critical hole would have a negative impact, according to Adobe’s Brad Arkin…

You can be protected here, for Adobe recommends customers follow the mitigation guidance below, utilizing the Adobe Reader and Acrobat JavaScript Blacklist Framework, until a patch is available.

Hi Polonus,

nice, wouldn’t have checked that today, downloading the temporary fix now! :wink:

LOL I discovered this extension for Chrome earlier today, but didn’t install it, might give it a try… But obviously you must be signed in to your google account to read a pdf then ;D

no, you don’t need to sign-in to just read a public document, I don’t know! maybe you need! I’ve never signed out of my Google Account, because I use Google for everything ;D , Mail (even I check my Hotmail and yahoo and AOL inbox via Gmail!), Messenger (Linked my Yahoo and Hotmail to GoogleTalk via Jabber services!), my Phone number is via Google Voice, blogging, web site and and and…

Done. Thank you, polonus.
