I don't use Adobe Reader anymore. Foxit Reader, http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ , is way smaller and faster. And it's not by Adobe. :)

I used foxitreader as well, until they had that feature that they would execute whatever command on your computer and you couldn't disable it... (and you could do this, or at least add a warning in adobe's reader)

I think they must put an alert in the download page.

Yesterday I removed flash from my Mac Internet Plugins folder. I can't say I'm missing it. Nearly all website work, a lot of ads are gone. Strangely, html5/h.264 is often the fall back for flash, I really would wish they did that the other wise around.

I had to put the plugin back: http://twitter.com/gideonklok/status/15475873118

Btw. I did already opted into the html5 beta tests here and there. That might have influenced the result.

I'm using http://clicktoflash.com/

Chromium + Flash + Linux vulnerable as well? How does one a) even know what version of flash is embedded in Chromium b) other than constantly killing the flash process how does one disable flash in Chromium Chromium v6.0.417.0

The bug is between Acrobat Reader and Flash, not Flash and any browser. It's not a problem for you to worry about.
