Be Very Afraid
> which product is at risk: Reader, Acrobat, or both.

Both. In fact, every single program and driver on your computer, no matter what it does, is a serious security risk that could blow up your house, kill your pets, and scar your children for life. There is no escape. Give up.

We are so doomed. Just yesterday, they found out that notepad.exe is a veritable transmission belt for malware and dreck. Use paper and pencil. Even pens now are contaminated.
