adobe works fine now.. did a full system scan and it turned up nothing. but the fact of the matter is i had no trojans and no problem with adobe crashing until the moment i clicked on that ad! isn't that significant somehow? i understand there's no link between the advertiser and adobe reader but... cmon wouldn't you be suspicious too?

perhaps im looking too much into it... hah the whole point of me coming here was to talk about system, so im going to go do that instead of trying to figure this out.

thanks for the help tho guys, it's much appreciated!

Well, I was just browsing the forums....

this popped up: sorry about the big size in advance:



Came after a pop-up ad with a fishy looking empty adobe reader popped up... It looks similar to what that guy had up there. I'd say it's more than coincidence that we both just ran into the same problem.

I am 100% sure it was a popup from this site with a strange, empty, small adobe reader popup.

Well if theres a pop-up opening Adobe Reader I'd say thats almost definatley the problem.

Can anyone get a screenshot of this pop-up thats opening adobe reader?
That way Zak will be able to look into the problem.
