'High risk' zero-day flaw haunts Adobe Acrobat, Reader

[Dan Goldstein]

A free security update to Adobe Reader 8.1.1 is now available at
http://tinyurl.com/2p2g9r.

Those of us with Adobe Acrobat 7 or earlier can choose between:

* An expensive upgrade to Acrobat 8.1.1
* Switching to a different PDF reader, such as Foxit.
* The workaround previously published at http://tinyurl.com/2az4tz
(you'll need to scroll down)
* Absolutely, positively uninstalling IE 7

Happy Wednesday!
