is it adobe reader or the browser?
this story seems to indicate that it is actually the browser executing the malicious code, not adobe reader. the browser sees the malicious code attached to a link to a pdf doc. hands the doc to reader and executes the malicious code it's self. isn't this what the article says? someone needs to clarify exactly which programs and which operating systems are affected by this bug.
