critical. If implemented, an attacker can take control of the

and is discussed in Adobe
Security Bulletin titled "Buffer overflow issue in versions 9.0

information:
"Reports have been published that disabling JavaScript in Adobe
Reader and Acrobat can protect users from this issue. Disabling
JavaScript provides protection against currently known attacks.
However, the vulnerability is not in the scripting engine and,

users choose to disable JavaScript, it can be accomplished following
the instructions below:

4. Uncheck the 'Enable Acrobat
JavaScript' option

untrusted sources. Adobe plans to release updates for Acrobat
Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 by March 11, with updates for earlier versions
of the software to follow.

 GOOGLE HELPS CUSTOMERS FIND
YOU
This Google tip focuses
on Google's mapping capabilities. Google maps is a great tool
for travel and for your business. Google offers interactive
mapping features such as basic directions and maps of various locations
at differing scales. It also offers users the ability
to access a vast collection of photographs and satellite imagery.
If you do not like the recommended path of a set of directions, you can
modify the route by dragging the proposed route on the map to the
desired road.
Another great feature of maps is that
you can have a customized map generated for your business which is
linked to your google listing. You can also generate custom maps for
use on your company's website. To access your business account,
go to Google's Local Business Center.
