A question for the computer literate.

What is AcroRd32.exe and why is it eating all my resources? Seriously, it's using more memory than iTunes.

It's Adobe Acrobat. Did you open a PDF recently?

It's adobe acrobat. It is prone to memory leaks. I recommend rebooting your PC to clear it and updating to the latest version that should theoretically be better at stuff like that.

A lot of folks are recommending replace Acrobat with this:

It's Virus. If you notice your computer trying to change your music preferences in iTunes, call in the Ortillery.

It's Acrobat Reader, it's a resource hog, and it doesn't always shut down if you view a PDF file from within your browser window, until/unless you shut down your browser. If your browser is IE, you'll have to reboot.
