Security flaws in Adobe reader

[WDEWDAD7]

I just read this from KHQTV.com a Spokane Washington TV station. " Security flaws have been discovered in Adobe Reader software. Security researchers have discovered pdf documents that were being used to compromise people's computers. If you open a corrupted pdf document using Adobe Reader, the bad guys could control your computer. Adobe won't be releasing a fix until March 11. Until then, everyone running Adobe Reader 9 and earlier versions, and Adobe Acorbat Standard, Pro, Pro Extended and earlier versions are at risk Until a fix is released, here are a few steps you should take.
1. Disable Javascript in Adobe. Just Click: Edit->Preferences->JavaScript and uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript.
2. Prevent Internet Explorer, or whatever browser you use, from automatically displaying pdf documents. To do this, while in the Adobe program, go to Edit->Preferences->Internet and uncheck "Display PDF in browser." This will give you a chance to close a potentially dangerous pdf document before it opens".
I hope this will help someone. To follow up or see info, log on to KHQTV.com. Daryl.
