    Important security fixes for Adobe Acrobat reader and Adobe Flash have finally been published.

    Any version of Adobe Acrobat reader less than v 9.2 is insecure.

    While you are at it, in Acrobat go to edit > preferences > JavaScript and uncheck enable javascript. Chances are you will never need it to read documents, and it is a backdoor into your system.

    If you use Firefox, Safari, etc and also use IE, go to
    http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH in Firefox - do the install, and go to the same link using IE and do the install again.

    They are two different versions of Flash - the installation process automatically detects the browser you are using.
