The latest Adobe vulnerability that was announced on Tuesday is now being exploited in the wild. CERT recommends that JavaScript be disabled until Adobe patches the software.
To disable javascript in your Adobe reader software, go to Edit -> Preferences and under Categories select JavaScript. Remove the check from the "Enable Acrobat JavaScript" box.
Once Adobe releases a patch and your system has been updated, you can re-check this box.
