I recommend removing the Adobe Acrobat plugin from FireFox. Just last night while visiting a trusted site, it tried to launch an exploited Adobe Acrobat file. The file was served from a 3rd party ad site that had been hacked. Dangerous.

Very good advice. Also, if you do use adobe, make sure you are fully updated (9.3.1). The 9.3.0 libtiff exploit is available via metasploit: http://www.metasploit.com/modules/exploit/windows/fileformat/adobe_libtiff http://www.metasploit.com/modules/exploit/windows/fileformat... Adobe themselves also need to update, since if you go download from their website, they'll give you 9.3.0: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu...
