The Mac security vulnerabilities have been uncovered by Yuebin Sun, a researcher at the Tencent Security Xuanwu Lab. Three important security flaws have been uncovered in the Adobe Acrobat Reader software for Mac and Windows. The introduction of MacOS X was a piece of genius that lured many of us away from Windoze, but if you are going to start acting like Microsoft you will lose our support and end up back where you were in the mid-90's.Mac updating to latest Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version.

I do not like you forcing me to have it in my application. Dear Apple, I understand that you want to make it easy for me to use your iTunes store. While we are about it, how can I remove that silly iDisk icon from the explorer, as I have no intention of signing up to iDisk, and how do I remove iTunes store, and iTunes match from my iTunes interface? Maybe I shall have to find a replacement for iTunes. I object to anyone else trying to take away some of that control. What idiots at these big companies think that by forcing us to run their silly utilities and making it hard to remove them they will get more business. Preview stands in for Acrobat reader, and I now use GIMP instead of Photoshop. I shall never again buy a single item of Adobe software. In the end I found every Adobe related file on my iMac, and deleted the lot.
