If I remember correctly, there is a MAC Virus going around that has to do with downloading Acrobat Reader. Anyone?

I just received an email from an airline I'm flying with that says a flight time as changed (2nd time). The email also suggests that I download Acrobat Reader and has a link plus a PDF file. Why would an airline send me the link to Acrobat Reader?

Am I being paranoid? :fp:

    i just got a pdf file that i was told contained a virus. quick search and it appears douchebags found a way to hid a virus in the file. the article i read said it was only an issue if you had acrobat on your computer....the file creator, not the reader.
    81 is now off the air
