		euroclydon on April 23, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: F-Secure says stop using Adobe Acrobat Reader I recently became infected with a Windows virus. I was using Foxit reader and downloaded a PDF file that used a javascript exploit to place a DLL in my PATH. This virus-infected DLL was found before the real DLL because browsers search for it in three locations, in order. The version of Foxit reader I was using did not have the ability to turn off javascript. It may now. Google for 7.7.7.0

I used to use Foxit, but have since turned to SumatraPDF. It seems to be a little lighter weight than Foxit.
