Nice tweak Tarun, thanks.

Foxit PDF is adware?

I had no idea, luckily I didn't download it then. :happybday:

No, it is not adware. It simply has a small (tiny really) segment that displays an animated image talking about Foxit Pro, and you can easily disable it.

Interesting... but I thought I'd let you guys know that Adobe Reader 8 is actually pretty good - it starts up in less than a week and has some great features... Foxit is no longer as good, with the frequent memory leaks and lock-ups =/

I've never experienced any memory leaks or lockups with Foxit.

Thanks for the 'fix'. That little ad was becoming quite annoying.

Happened to me around 1 in 5 times. Not sure what version, though.

This doesn't work no in Foxit 2.1. Any suggestions?

Right click and uncheck Advertisement.

Lol, didn't try out the obvious.
