The bad PDF file looks like some sort of calendar, I have not yet been able to analyse exactly what sort of evil things it does.
If you still use Adobe Acrobat then you should make sure that you update to the latest version which is 9.3.2, or use an alternative like Sumatra.

I did get exactly the one you mentioned.
I have disconnected from internet and scanning my computer with anti-virus and anti-spy ware. Until it all came out all fine with anti-virus and anti spyware, I am not going on-line again. Worry about backdoor trojans and keyloggers.
It is 10.10pm now. I got home from work and open the email by mistake at around 9.30pm.
I am online with my 2nd laptop, trying to find out about "Royal Mail spam with attachment" and found your comment. Thank yoy for
warning.

I too just opened this and I'm normally pretty savvy about such things). Do you know what the actual exploit is - I'm only running Reader 8.1.1
Should I panic yet?
