Hey everyone. I recently had a crippling trojan attack on my computer. I though i was going to have to reformat until i replaced my registry files. That worked, i also spent many days with the help of a spyware website forum to cleanse my computer back to health. It's clean and running good now. But there were a few changes in a couple things. One of which is my Adobe reader will not open pdf's. It just shows a red X in the corner. I tried reinstalling Adobe Reader 9 but was told it was on a resource that was unavailable. I'm sure the trojan just got rid of a few important files and i just need to figure out which ones, or reinstall the whole thing, but it wont let me do that either. What should i do? THX, Jerry.
