DOH! I followed the time-honored tradition of posting before actually reading the article. Google did in fact fall prey to a zero-day attack on Adobe Reader.

I missed that too and I read the entire article. NVDAVE is saying it was windows XP but I must have missed that as well

I use Preview and the Firefox Plugin on the Mac and Foxit on Windows. I abandoned Adobe Reader on both platforms not because of security but because of bloat.

I also use 7-Zip on Windows instead of WinZip. More functionality, less vulnerability to security holes.
