kmillerusaf Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 New version 9.1 released on filehippo.com today, yet there are no security bulletins or advisories on Adobe's page that reference anything about 9.1... Kind of strange isn't it? Keith There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2009 Usually it's a security update. Don't forget it comes bundled with Adobe AIR too, which isn't even needed to run Adobe Reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmillerusaf Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I hate the way they package AIR, adobe.com, and Adobe Reader together... I don't want all that crap so why force it on me I have never even took the time to see what AIR does, but I know I don't want it installed with Reader!!! There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have never even took the time to see what AIR does, but I know I don't want it installed with Reader!!! AIR is the sole reason I stopped using Adobe Reader and went back to Foxit Reader because there's no way I'm going to be forced to install some program I'll never use. I dealt with it once and never again. I like the looks of their media player too, but that also comes bundled with AIR so it's a no go as well. Now "if" they ever start bundling AIR with Flash Player that will also bite the dust on my system, and I'll just block their whole site in my HOSTS file.

kmillerusaf Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Security bulletin for Adobe 9.1 Looks like it's a needed update. The only reason I care about Adobe is because we use Reader/Acrobat here at work so I have to support it for my clients and flash player because it's used across most of the web. Other than that, I use Foxit at home :| There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

kmillerusaf Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I use it and I scan their computer when I am working on their computers... But trying to get these people to do anything, let alone scan for vulnerabilities would be impossible.
