[Free-sklyarov-uk] adobe software limitations

[Anton Chterenlikht]

Will this be of any use for getting more attention
from security specialists?
Why these are only antivirus programs?
Can it be the case that Adobe security acts like a
worm?
(I'm absolutely ignorent in this)

McAfee is mandatory for all Sheff Uni computers..
So I cannot try
this Adobe program even if I want to.
