Not sure why you are surprised that applying 5V signals to a PIC running at 3.3 V is a problem. Either level shift the adapter to 3.3 V signals or run the PIC at 5V.

Simple solution is to use 2x transistor inverter(http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...tron/bufi2.gif), or optocoupler on USB Tx pin...
Or use one inverter with transistor if your pic suport inverted UART input.
