Not using Adobe's PDF reader doesn't mean you're avoiding PDF malware

I would understand completely if you have turned your back on Adobe's PDF reader. The software, and its Adobe Flash Player stablemate, have often been found lacking with exploitable vulnerabilities.

But don't think that avoiding Adobe Reader means that you somehow have protected yourself from PDF-borne malware. Foxit users would be wise to check that they are running an updated version of the software.

On Paxos a couple of years bag we were having lunch and saw a dog - probably a black lab - on the back of a young guy swimming about 50 yards out!  Caused quite a stir but we didn't have the camera.
