If you have received an update on your Linux machine for the latest Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox, then you may see a stray file of this name in one of your directories: C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt (yes, with the backslashes, because backslash is legal in Unix/Linux filenames). In my case it was in ~/Documents/
From a web search this appears to be a boo-boo by Adobe programmers, releasing a package with a debug feature enabled. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, just makes people suspicious that their system has been rooted. I'm sure another Reader release will be imminent.
Sigh, I always thought they were cowboys, to observe the constant stream of security patches to Reader and Flash Player. For Reader there are alternatives like okular or evince, but Flash Player is harder to replace.
