This particular virus, known as Peachy, only affects Acrobat, the
application that creates pdf files, not Acrobat Reader or any other
pdf reader.

Since that news is six years old, I though perhaps the virus writers had
come up with something 'better'.
rags haven't used it because it's not very effective. Acrobat Pro isn't
one of those apps found on every punters PC.
Spammers have taken to attaching pdf's to emails in an effort to
bypass spam filters.
If you don't have the full Pro Version of Acrobat this virus is not a
threat. Yet.
And who gets to find out when it is?
The same blithering idiots who go blindly clicking on every hyperlink
presented to them.
