This is becoming a joke.
Foxit Reader is much smaller and does the job too. Whether it is inherently safer, i do not know.
I usually surf with JavaScript disabled and only turn it on when really necessary (some videos need it but again the videos on youtube, e.g., run without it. All it needs is a click on the video. JavaScript remains disabled. So it is possible without Javascript. Sometimes you really wonder what's going on). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Extensa 5235 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, Linux Mint Julia, in dual boot mode CPU Intel Celeron 900 @2.2 GHz Motherboard Acer BA50-MV(U2E1) Memory DDR3 2048 Mbytes Sound Card Conexant HD Audio Adobe Plans Critical Security Updates for Reader, Acrobat Next Week problems?
