Yeah that will work. It turns the computer into furniture but it will work. Javascript can be dangerous enough. But Javascript where you don't expect it is insane. It is built into Adobe Reader and hardly anyone uses it let alone knows it is there. This makes pdf files dangerous viral vectors unless you turn off javascript in reader. Your Mac is probably safe since you probably use Preview to read pdfs. The article is an older one from last spring but there have been exploits using a similar technique since. The article also tells you how to turn it off. http://www.wizcrafts.net/blogs/2009/04/new_zeroday_javescript_exploit_targets_adobe.html -- John Duncan Yoyo ---o) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
