IE 7 & Adobe PDF vulnerability

[DelJo63]

there's a critical bug in its most popular programs, but it doesn't yet have a
patch that protects Windows XP users against attacks arriving as PDF files.

IE 7 can launch ANY program when a PDF is malformed.

The fix is a registry hack ( ), but if you can stand for the instructions,
we advise you take action!

see the Adobe Advisory here

I just install The 4.0 reader.I only download pdf 's that i want and
know where they come from.Most users just need the Reader version.
