Adobe Security Bulletin and Security Update released

APSB09-06 Security Updates available for Adobe Reader and Acrobat

I fire-up Adobe Reader and yup, the security update is released:

adobemayupdate

And of course, WinPatrol help us once again by alerting us that Adobe’s start-up item will be added after installing the update:

5-13-2009 3-56-55 PM

Just click “No” to avoid unnecessary startup item.

BTW, WinPatrol is not a virus.  It’s a great program.  Symantec support need to know that their program is the one to be kicked because they pushed a patch that includes questionable, unacceptable, unwanted and unnecessary – Ask.com Search Assistant.

According to a comment left on my blog by Noah Edwardsen, Public Relations Specialist at Symantec, they have contacted Bill and reached out to the customer.

Thanks for the info, Corrine!

Don't they automatically log any chat sessions by their support to their customers? They should, if they don't.  Glad to know though that they continue to reach out whenever their product is mentioned. Now if they can only listen on what the people want --- a clean installer.
