New Updates are available today for Adobe Reader that fix vulnerabilities that could allow a remote site to gain control over a vulnerable system. This would allow the exploit to install malware onto your computer without your knowledge or permission.

It is suggested that all users of Adobe Reader immediately upgrade to version 9.3.3 in order to secure the program from known vulnerabilities. You can either run Reader and select Check for Updates under the Help menu, or visit the link below to download the update manually. If you have issues installing this update, make sure all browsers are closed before starting.

Hey,
Thanks for reminding me. I know that I set my Adobe reader to auto update, but it doesn't seem as if that happens very much. I'll have to go check it out as soon as I get off here.
