Adobe Acrocrap
I have never liked the smug and often supercilious barstewards at Adobe Crapware Inc., but this one really takes the biscuit:
Steve Gottwals, a member of Adobe's security team, said it is in the process of reviewing the automatic launch feature in light of the new information.
" This is a good example of powerful functionality relied upon by some users that also carries potential risks when used incorrectly by others," he wrote. He went on to say: "We are currently researching the best approach for this functionality in Adobe Reader and Acrobat," and it may introduce changes in a future update.
BS!
They actually have a "security team" huh..............I wonder who the other member is then?............Gottwals' dog no doubt
"Autorun vulnerabilities"?..........ring a bell?
Ack Phtt! as Bill the Cat would say...................

Tell us how you really feel nihil
I can relate
I cant stand any adobe crap myself
Adobe CS4 software resets registry permissions.....fricken POS
I guess for licensing control.....but anytime I work on a machine that has had that software installed I have to run the reset reg script to get other programs to work.
Even removing the POS dosent reverse Adobes settings :rolleyes;
