Subject: PDF's unsafe?

I'm a win32 guy, so I've been using Foxit Reader
<http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php>.  Its free, 4.5mb
total, and is a stand-alone applications that doesn't require an
install.

I keep it on my thumb drive with my other utils.  I've been using it
for a couple of months now with no issues reading or printing PDF's.
