[quote="Report: Malicious PDF files comprised 80 percent of all exploits for 2009"]
A newly released report shows that based on more than a trillion Web requests processed in 2009, the use of malicious PDF files exploiting flaws in Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat not only outpaced the use of Flash exploits, but also, grew to 80% of all exploits the company encountered throughout the year.
Are the flaws in Adobe’s product line becoming the cybercriminal’s favorite exploitation tactic? Depends, since from another perspective malicious attackers don’t have preferences, they exploit whatever is exploitable.
If I was you I would dump Adobe’s products I have, I have removed all Adobe’s products from my Computers.

The Online Software Inspector (OSI) does not install any program on ones computer.

The Personal Software Inspector (PSI) is more thorough but not so fast. It is free to download and install for private use.
