A flaw in the Javascript engine in Adobe's popular Acrobat series of programs has left users vulnerable to cracker attack - but the company has issued a patch to block the hole.

It fails sooo hard, at least with 8 it doesn't stall the browser on Windows when it downloads a PDF. But still REALLY bad.

Acrobat Reader is the worst application I've ever used. Ever.

Get Foxit Reader to keep your sanity intact.

I can't update flash because with versions > 9.0.47 fullscreen video gets 1 fps and 100% cpu usage...
Works fine for the moment with the old version.

Stupid "video acceleration". 've got a x1400 with updated drivers, yet it doesn't work.
