Keep all software up to date (pdf readers in this case), install latest security patches, don't click/open dumb stuff, and no computer will be affected. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/mac- ... r-2007/758

These pdf exploits come around every few months it seems. A few other forums are suffering from them as well right now. Dunno if this is the same one, but other recent reports and info from Adobe:

It's in the pdf code itself apparently, not an exploit in the application, so anything that reads them might be affected it seems. There was a couple of Foxit updates available on their update manager, might as well apply just in case.
