Mark, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your virus but I received a
newsletter from a reliable source that mentioned a hole in Adobe Reader:
But here's an extra deterrent that does work: disabling JavaScript in Adobe
Reader, which prevents infected PDFs from delivering code that exploits the
vulnerability. This approach is more effective and far less disruptive than
shutting down JavaScript, wholesale, in the browser.
To disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader, open Reader and click Edit, Preferences.
Choose JavaScript in the left pane, uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript in the
right pane, and click OK.
Another way to protect against the recent malware attacks is to disable
JavaScript in Adobe Reader by unchecking this option.
Webroot's Brandt says very few people encounter legitimate PDFs that use
JavaScript. If you do - such as a form that permits data entry - you can always
enable the feature for that document only.
After disabling Reader's JavaScript option, you can safely open PDF files that
arrive via e-mail. If the file is blank or filled with gibberish, it's probably
infected, but the threat has been neutralized.
Roberts recommends that enterprises use virtualization technologies to isolate
the browser from other areas of a PC. This effectively prevents malicious code
from gaining a foothold.

A third source was a downloaded word/adobe document that is very low on my
suspicion meter.
