Edited to add: seems like Adobe aren't the only ones who don't know what security is ... I meant to post this in Windows Security.

Nice article. Although the comparison between Adobe and Toyota nah, because I doubt any exploits from Adobe would ever turn out to be fatal.

fair point ( ... only to your PC anyway) ... provides a bit more incentive for the company to take action doesn't it ?!

If Adobe doesn't fix it pretty soon their name will be mud.

There Name already is mud as far as i am concerned. i avoid using Adobe's products when ever possible and i make a point of refusing to buy there products under any circumstances simply because of there horrible copy protection. now don't get me wrong i don't care what a company does to protect them selves from piracy also long as they don't damage my property in doing so and i consider my computer to be my property. in there efforts to prevent piracy they not only install what could only be considered viruses but they also damaged the windows installation of thousands of legitimate paying customers forcing them to reinstall. Arggh don't get me started about adobe because i will be here all day adobe is almost as bad as if not worse then Microsoft.
