[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 708208, member: 37647"] You mentioned earlier about PDF . Each PDF reader, such as Adobe, Foxit, etc, has its own separate isolated environment, so it can't spy on your Word documents or Excel documents, or vice versa, even if the docs are open and you are working on them. This is because each isolated environment is a world unto itself. Note also that MS Outlook is separate from the other MS Office apps. If malware exploits an isolated app, it still won't gain permission to modify system files or to read data in real user space. But you are right that malware could scan to gain info about the system.
