A single file in my Adobe Reader file detected as trojan? (AcroRd32Info.exe)
Hey everybody,
I have a question malware for you guys. A few days ago I let a scan of viruses/malware/etc on my PC (via a program called ClamWin anti-virus), who detected a file as a Trojan horse. Here is the line from Scan report:
C:\Program Adobe 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32Info.exe: Win.Trojan.Agent - 629666 FOUND
So it confuses me a little. As you can imagine, I'm not really versed in this topic; but it is even possible that a file of a large company like Adobe could be seriously infected? I mean, it obviously seems to be part of Adobe Reader. Or this file maybe just sneak into this folder and start claiming that it belongs there? Or is there perhaps another reason why it has been detected as a Trojan horse, perhaps a kind of "misunderstanding"?
In conclusion, should I worry that there really is a horse of Trojan on my PC? In this case, it would be wiser to reinstall my OS and wipe the entire hard drive?
Thank you!
First of all, it is a rather old version of the player you have installed... It is not compatible with any modern operating system. You should consider upgrading to the latest version, XI player.
If you have installed the application directly from Adobe so you can be certain, it contains no malware and there is a file of this name in the original installation of the drive, but it is always possible that an external application infested it. Or it could be a false positive... Maybe ask your AV software manufacturers, or try using another to check a second time.

This is my first time using this forum. I hope that my question made its appearance and that this space is to respond to the answers possible, but just in case, here's my question again:
On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in the sequence automatically, but the number 10 appears under the number 1 instead of below the number 9. I googled the problem, do not see addressed. I called Microsoft, and they said it's a matter of Adobe. If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Thank you.
Not an Adobe issue at all. If you want your files to a single digit (1-9) to appear before the 10, you must add a zero at the beginning.

Why the Adobe reader won't open my jpeg files?
Why the 11 adobe reader won't open my jpeg files?
Hi Nassman,
Adobe Reader is a single reading software for PDF files. JPEG is not a supported format that would open in Adobe Reader. You must open the Jpeg in application that supports this file format. (for example, Photoshop, Picture Viewer, MS Paint)
I hope this helps. I would like to know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards

How to open the files .dll automatically with Adobe Reader via Firefox?
Hello
When I print labels eBay via Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to automatically open in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change the options to display "all files", then find the .dll file and open it.
When I try to change the default application in the preferences of Firefox, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".
Is there a way to have Firefox automatically opens files .dll with Adobe Reader?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Steve
Sorry for the delay, but yes, just stop Firefox so that the mimeTypes.rdf file is released.

Until today, I had no trouble opening the files Adobe Acrobat with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an older version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express, which does not recognize later versions.) As of this morning, when I click on a file Acrobat, I wonder what program I want to open it with. Even when I click on 'do this automatically... ". ', it is not doing. He asks me every time. I went to tools, Applications and changed all the questions to open with Adobe Reader related 9.5 pdf. This also does not work.
access firefox options > applications and set the default action for the portable document (pdf) format.

My PC is running windows xp, sp2. Previously, I copied several PDF files on the net and stored in my documents and periodically SURFs on the pages. All of a sudden, the appearance of the Office has migrated to the default settings, but they have been reset. Regarding pdf files that have been copied through adobe reader 8.2 for my ducuments they refuse to open, even after the upgrade to version 10.0.1(current de lecteur) the file is displayed for a split second and disappears. Clean your PC with Avast does not indicate something wrong. Went to RUN regedit .exe and checked in all the boxes of the machines:-key-local etc. to permit and permission, but they were of no use. How to remedy this. ? Can I format Adobe and reloaded via net? Please give me a solution.
