Disable Adobe Reader Auto-Update

[fredvries]

Versions 8 and up of Adobe Reader have annoying pop-ups to show you that the auto-updater is doing what it is designed to do. One of the side-effects is that it temporarily can freeze-up your system.

You are able to disable this auto-update feature by following the next easy steps:

- Open Adobe Reader by double clicking its icon;

- Goto 'Help'

- Goto 'Check for Updates'

- Hit 'Preferences'

- Uncheck 'Automatically check for Adobe updates'

Since Adobe Reader is the most widely used application that implements PDF, it is likely to be the one most will try to exploit.

So you might want to consider using a third-party PDF application.

Foxit seems the best alternative.
