The big companies just don't care anymore about us computer users by letting that spyware piggybank with their software:mad:

Thanks for the info, didn't know about that. Was already looking for another alternative to read pdf files.

As I am neither a fan of Yahoo or Adobe [only because they cost me an arm and a leg for photoshop], I see this is a unholy matrimony of devastative consequences.

Or maybe that's the 4am talking....

yahoo and adobe seem to like partnering with other companies lately.
