Re: Fw: Adobe confirms PDF zero-day attacks. Disable JavaScript now | Zero Day | ZDNet.com

Personally I'm just going to enable Javascript temporarily when necessary.

Adobe used to be a great company, but they've gone so far downhill I
think they may actually be worse than Microsoft at this point.
