Fix: Disable Javascript pro tem. http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=28041 A new Javascript hack reported: "This afternoon, Adobe received reports of a vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.2 and earlier versions being exploited in the wild," Adobe wrote in a post to its Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) blog on Monday afternoon. 'The criminals are exploiting this flaw by sending malicious PDF files to victims, according to the volunteer-run malware tracking group Shadowserver.' 'The vulnerability is due to a bug in the way Reader processes JavaScript code, according to Shadowserver. The group recommends that concerned users disable JavaScript within Adobe's software as a work-around for this problem. (This can be done by un-checking the "Enable Acrobat JavaScript" in the Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript window).'

I haven't yet got around to downloading Adobe Reader for our new iMac, so you have legitimised my procrastination - we'll stick with Preview for a while! Trevor
