Almost everyone has it, Adobe Acrobat Reader. But which version. Security staff are reporting that there is a bug in past versions of this popular piece of software. The bug is infact in the browser plugin for the reader that allows users to view pdf documents inside their browser.

This bug could allow "hackers" access to the users hard drive! Luckily no hackers are seen to be exploiting the flaw but it is only a matter of time. Unfortunately this bug is present in both the IE and FF plugins and it is not until you upgrade to version 8 that you will be clear from the bug. There has even been a quote from a Symantec security researcher that said: "The ease [with] which this weakness can be exploited is breathtaking.".

So please follow this link and upgrade now!!!
