Dear Group,
As a frequent user and downloader of pdf documents I am concerned about the report at
You will find that Acrobat reader 8 is considered safe, but Acrobat 7 is not.
Adobe however is still offering updates to Acrobat 7 which are just as big in Bytes as a download of Acrobat 8.
Does anybody have any information on this subject? Is this a serious problem?
Thank you for any contribution

You will find that xpdf in any version is safe, so is Foxit PDF Reader.
Well, if you're using Adobe Reader and you're not turning off JavaScript and a lot of other non standard conforming stuff, then you sure deserve to get the malware installed, since you're explicitly offering full access.
Some people would suggest that using less broken implementations might making such mistakes way harder...
