There is a critical security vulnerability that affects Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, versions 8.1 and below.
For more information, please see Adobe Security Advisory APSA07-04 and CVE-2007-5020
According to the Adobe Security Advisory, your machine is vulnerable if you have:
- Adobe Reader 8.1 and earlier OR Adobe Acrobat 8.1 and earlier
- Windows XP
- Internet Explorer 7

Our small tool implements the workaround detailed in the Adobe Security Advisory, without requiring manual registry editing.
Enable the workaround and help secure your system, or see the current status on your system - all with only a small download and the click of a button.
And your existing settings are preserved - only the setting required for the workaround is changed.
For easier network deployment, command-line options are available:
-enableworkaround (enables the workaround for any Adobe Acrobat / Reader 8.x versions that are detected)
-disableworkaround (disables the workaround for any Adobe Acrobat / Reader 8.x versions that are detected)
The tool helps ensure that existing settings are maintained, with more validation than a simple registry entry deployment can provide.
