Acrobat Reader is spyware

The latest version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux can secretly report document usage to an external website. Bet you the Windows version does this, too. "After doing a little research, we found that Adobe's Reader was connecting to http://www.remoteapproach.com/remoteapproach/logging.asp each time we opened the document. The information is submitted over port 80 using HTTP, so it is unlikely that a home or office firewall would, in a normal configuration, block the activity, unless the firewall administrator is attempting to block Web browsing."
