You should download and install the newest version of the free Adobe Reader for reading pdf files, due to vulnerabilities in earlier versions of reader and acrobat.
All versions numbered lower than 9.2 are vulnerable.
- Click here to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 9.2).
- Select your Windows version and click on Download. Save this file to your desktop and run it to install the latest version of Adobe Reader.
If you prefer a simple reader, without plug-ins, that is smaller and faster, take a look at the free Foxit Reader here : http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
You can keep your full version of Adobe Acrobat 7, but you should use it for editing and creation of pdf's only, NOT for opening pdf's on the net.
You can still call Adobe Acrobat 7 from Start, All Programs
