I've disabled Java in Acrobat and Reader. Updated Flash.

Disabling Java takes care of the Acrobat/Reader flaw, and the patch for Flash 10 released on 2/5/2009 takes care of the issue in that application.

The Adobe tech alerts indicate otherwise <http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa09-01.html>. Disabling javascript helps but it is not a cure.
