Danger, Wil Robinson!!!!!

I can see two things very wrong about this hint:
  1. You just gave everyone write permission to the application file, and
  2. You made everything in that folder executable.
A better command would be this one:
chmod -R a+Xr "Adobe Illustrator 10.0.3"
a+Xr means, "if it's executable by someone, make it executable by anyone; and let anyone read the file."

This way, the only permissions that are changed are the necessary ones.
