Security updates available for Adobe Reader and Acrobat

Edit: For Flash Player see here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=9671.msg616370#msg616370

OT: You're better off not installing Adobe Reader because of security holes every time you update the patch, and you'll be a lot safer using PDF-XChange Viewer or something better that has less problems and yes you still have to update the Flash Player.

You're right, that's OT, but much more important: it's true.!!
I also use PDF-XChange Viewer...

yeah I was wondering, couldn't find the Adobe Reader 10.0.2 update for Windows,just for Mac... it's really not clear at all

Adobe recommends users of Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.1) for Windows and Macintosh update to Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.2)

Because Adobe Reader X Protected Mode would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing, we are planning to address this issue in Adobe Reader X for Windows with the next quarterly security update for Adobe Reader, currently scheduled for June 14, 2011.

... wondering what they've been smoking lately @Adobe

Wow, their patch policy rocks...

For those who still have not abandoned the junk: PDF-XChange Viewer (available also in native 64bit variant) or Foxit Reader (if you are after something fast and small).

yep... I went too fast yesterday when referring to the fact that CNet didn't find the keylogger, and the statement about a Vipre FP ... don't know what I was thinking of forgot that indeed Samsung themselves, at least a rep, admitted it, they they indeed installed that crap on laptops.
