I mean even if this kind of feature had been exploited by malware-for-profit authors and sent out in every spam email for the next millenium, if it wasn't for PEBKAC's it would never be an issue. If PEBKAC's didn't exist, i don't believe spam would exist either. We need to solve PEBKAC's somehow. Permanently. Note: For those who don't know what a PEBKAC is, it's an acronym. Try looking it up.

I bet hollywood is using this technology already or has been for sometime. either way once agian common sense leaves you from being harmed. simple, just don’t click on any links in a downloaded PDF.
