F-Secure says stop using Adobe Acrobat Reader
 

F-Secure advises against using Adobe Reader - News - The H Security: News and features


Looks like another vote for Foxit.

Well I've been using FOXIT reader for a very long time now - (close to a year or +)

and I am EXTREMELY satisfied - whenever I click on a PDF it appears INSTANTLY, lightning fast - no more waiting for adobe bloat to load up

I recommend FOXIT reader hands down - it's very responsive, has frequent updates, it's great ! :)

People STILL use Acrobat *shocK*

Well if you are in a print workflow using the creative suite from Adobe and (InDesign, Illustrator etc...) you have to install Acrobat as well. As you need to create PDFx1-a files for pro print shops and Acrobat is the best way to do it imho. However that is the full version of Acrobat, I have no idea if the full version is as insecure as the free Reader. Also in a corporate environment, it is very hard to get people to use anything other than the lowest common denominator. Got I can hardly get the bumbleheads I deal with to understand what Acrobat Reader is and how to get it, never mind FoxIt *sighs*.

Yeah, enaberif, a lot of schools still use it, which is crap-tastic if you are using an old pos machine and have to open a big ass datasheet in adobe. You end up waiting a couple mins just for it to load the damn thing. Long Live FoxIt

The only bitch about this are applications that specifically look for adobe acrobat reader and can't find it - :)

Thats only because most system admins only have half a brain and no clue what is better than something else.

LOL ! Or too damn lazy !

damn straight - BTW, F-Secure is not the best tool to use either - they miss on some detections - I use AVIRA Security Suite now - has top reviews and an excellent detection rate and frequent updates daily.
