According to Adobe:

Platform: Windows XP or Windows 2003 (Vista users are not affected) with Internet Explorer 7 installed

Affected software versions: Adobe Reader 8.1 and earlier, Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and earlier
Adobe Acrobat Professional, 3D and Standard 8.1 and earlier versions, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Standard, 3D and Elements 7.0.9 and earlier

Anyone with the above are in danger of the pdf file using the mail to capacity in adobe to forward information to a 3rd party. I recall using this feature when designing test papers for the fire department, on completion of the test the answers and the users name, date, and badge number were emailed to the Training Office. I'm a little muddy as to how this works in the instance of the webpage, unless it's loading itself as a TSR type piece of software and sending information from forms to another site.

I will not use IE7, and only use that browser if forced to by Microsoft.
