Using an Adobe updater from any other party pretty much assures you get unwanted stuff. Be well On installation, I didn't see the usual check box to install the Yahoo bar on your browsers.
Wished I'd wondered why there was more than one. As soon as the install bar got about half-way, McAfee popped up a big Trojan Warning. I let McAfee qurantine it, but as I went ahead I noticed several other things pass by on the install screen and I quickly clicked Cancel. I thought I'd stopped most of them and maybe I did, but I found and uninstalled 2 more right after cancelling. A search for one of them is what led me here. It's gone now, but must have a reboot.
That indicates how deeply they are entrenched when they have resident components that can't be stopped without a shutdown. I can't believe Adobe is resorting to pushing all this scum off onto their customers for revenue.
What is surprising is that even though I cancelled the install, Acrobat Reader works fine. Over half the install time was for Malware, Adware, and Trojans, looks like. Please help me get rid of it.

I use to love them, but lately the whole suite has become bloated and cumbersome. I am always looking for alternatives and Foxit is a good Free alternative to Reader. Removing updater. Thanks annonymous. Nothing is more aggrivating than having your application interrupted while you are working on something important! I understand that they want their users to have the latest versions at all time but sometimes it just isn't the "right" time to update..
Maybe now, I won't be so apprehensive about having adobe products on my machine. This helps very much.. The're stealing my bandwith so much everytime i connect to the net, internet connections here in my country is quite expensive.. Thank you again! I am also able to disable the automatic update for adobe reader 7. I just deleted the file updater. Really helpful. Thanks This is really a well laid out website. I like how you have presented your information with excellent detail.
Keep up the great work here and please visit by my blog sometime. The url is file4dwn. Anyone figured out how Adobe manages to run their update software using Operating System resources win when the computer starts up?.
They do not seem to understand that the most sensible time to run the updater is when the software or its component Adobe reader is opened or invoked. Who the hell gave them permission to run the updater when my computer starts up when I am not even thinking of using their 2 bit crappy piece of software. I really hate when people run their software without my knowledge on my personal computer and I am really puzzled to see Adobe, a multi million dollar company keeps such an update strategy.
Heck, then how the hell they manage to bring this crappy update software to foreground when the computer starts up? Damn thing! Sorry my post is running long, but another crap thing about Adobe, they do not let you change the flash player setting unless your computer is connected to internet!
I suspect it's using active setup, a windows 'feature' which is now part of the OS. I'm a real non-fan of automatic stuff installing itself and running, someone please correct this if it's incorrect, but I think deleting the. The activesetup part will run when windows starts anyway, basically you would be disabling the adobe section of that. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new Software modules and completely new versions.
You agree to receive such updates and permit Adobe to deliver these to you with or without your knowledge as part of your use of the Services. Thank you so much, these update screens was driving me bonkers. And My website and programs would freeze up. I had Adobe Reader 9. I have Windows xp Home edition. I am glad its fixed. I like abobe when it works right. I disabled the updates.
This Updater is the most annoying piece of shit I ever saw. And I can neither deinstall nor deactivate it in a standard manner.
How impertinent! Thank you for this post!! I went into the preferences thinking there would be a place to disable the updates.
But there was not. I don't think I would have found it had it not been for this info. Adobe obviously wanted to embed it so the option would not be found. I am so fed up with the way so many SW companies are using so much deception.
It is getting to where you don't know the good guys from the robbers anymore. I am so appreciative for people that take time out of their busy lives to help out others by doing something as simple as presenting a post like this.
Many thanks for all If you already have Adobe Reader installed and are looking for a simple way to disable the Updater from running automatically, run the following command from a Command Prompt. This will require admin access to the machine you are running this on, so if you are running Windows Vista you must use an elevated command prompt.
I dont like any software doing any downloading without user's permission. Good solution But can be used if and only if the Updates are available in case of Adobe9. If ur Adobe is up to date u wont find Preferences option So for that access "Edit" menu and select option "Preferences" Select "Updater" from Categories panel..
In my version of Reader, I had to go through the Edit menu and choose Preferences. There, choose Updater and click on "Do not automatically donwload or install updates". Apparently, it will download software and awaiting for approval to install by default. And you'll never see those annoying icons popping up again.
Look at these Adobe nerve wrecking crappy pop-ups My answer is NO - they're all the same out there, just to get your money and screw you and to make you stay with their SW - updating and updating and updating their crap. If you delete the file and at some point decide to update adobe will reinstall the file.
A more perminate way to stop this is simple. Go to start, run. Type gpedit. Select the "Addtional Rules" folder. In the right side box, right click and choose "New Path Rule".
A new dialog box will open which will allow you to browse to any file you want. Browse to any of the files mentioned here, depending on the version you have. Make sure the disallow drop down is picked in the dialog box.
Click Apply, then ok. That's it, no matter what adobe does, the file will never be permitted to run on your system again.
