Hope that someone can help me~
Thanks

I am having the exact same problem.  But it seems rare since no one has responded to this post.  A web search turns up a number sketchy website claiming that kswebshield.dll is some sort of malware, but there are no results when you search for it on McAfee.com - no results.  But Malwarebytes.org has a couple results, neither of them are helpful.

OK.... Here's what I found.  An answer to this post describes the solution (http://www.precisesecurity.com/qa/?p=1829) (scroll down to see the answer).  Since Kingsoft appears to be a legitimate company they should be working adobe to figure out why their software conflicts with Adobe Reader (and who know's which other Adobe products).
None of the following products identified Kingsoft as a problem; McAfee, Malware Bytes and Spybot Search & Destroy.
To elaborate on the instructions in the email, I did the following:
1. Disabled the KingSoft service. 
2. Backed up my Registry
3. Deleted the following folders and registry keys:
C:\ProgramData\kingsoft
C:\ProgramData\WDD
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\Kingsoft Antivirus WebShield Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\Kingsoft Antivirus WebShield Service
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Kingsoft Antivirus WebShield Service
* I was unable to use the "Delete With Wiping" feature in Windows 7 x64, even after reboot.  But, when I Shift+Deleted the files they successfully dissappeared.  I'm going to download BCwipe and wipe the slack space on my machine just to be safe.
4.  Finally, successfully, launched Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Updater can be run only by users with administrator rights error on 2003 termianl server

    I just installed the latest security update of 8.1.7 on my two terminal servers. Now when each users logs in, they get the following error.
    Insufficient Rights (title)
    Adobe Updater can be run only by usrs with administrator rights.
    They simply click OK and it goes away but it is very annoying. It seems like every time their is an update to Adobe Reader, something goes wrong.
    Does anybody have any thoughts on how to stop the Adobe Updater from loading when my users login? Thanks,
    Justin

    I ended up finding the solution at this link.

    Re: Insufficient Rights Window for non-admins after 8.1.2 successful install
    Here is the solution I found.
    "Renaming %program files%/Common Files/Adobe/updater5 to something else removed the error."
    This seems like a brute force approach, but it does work. I checked the event logs after doing this and don't see any errors in the App or System logs. This folder is the location of AdobeUpdater.exe and all of the Adobe .cer files, so it makes sense that this works, but seems like it should generate other errors...
    This is not how I wanted to solve the problem but it did solve it.

  • Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

    I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

    When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

  • How can i run a windows based program on mac book pro

    Can I run a windows based program on mac book pro mountain lion 10.8.4

    You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive.  You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
    You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware).

    Hi Coralienz,
    Can you please check the value of the registry entries at the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    In case the values for any of the entries (i.e. Common AppData, Common Desktop, Common Documents etc.) is referencing to E:\, change the value back to look something like below and you should be good to go.

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

    Hey Grethe,
    Please use the ' Fix It '  tool for your specific Windows version using this link : When you run an .exe file on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7-based computer, the file may start a different pro…
    Once done restart your computer. Let me know if the issue persist.

  • Can I run a windows software program taht is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

    Can I run a windows software program that is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

    genepaquin,
    the last MacBook Pros that supported installing Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition are the Mid 2010 models. If your MacBook Pro is newer than that, and you don’t have a newer version of Windows to install into a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Pro, then you might consider an alternative such as running Windows with the help of programs such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop rather than through Boot Camp.

  • Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

    Worked ok on Vista, After
    installing Windows 7 (Clean & Install) Adobe Reader won't install on windows 7, goes through the process says 100% installation complete, then nothing. Any ideas.

    I havent faced this issue as such on my WIN 7 OS. Worked fine for me.
    You might be able to find the cause behind the problem by creating the error log for the installer, using the following commandline switch:
    AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe /l
    the "\l" switch will create an error log (if any) in the temp directory. (%temp% \ BootStrap.log)
    If you can share the log details, it may help in deciphering what exactly is the root cause behind your problem.

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

  • What is the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Standard that runs on Windows XP SP3? I currently have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0. Thanks!

    What is the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Standard that runs on Windows XP SP3? I currently have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0. Thanks!

    The current updates 10.1.13 and 11.0.10 no longer support Windows XP SP3.  The last versions to test were 10.1.10 and 11.0.3 I think.   But I wouldn't recommend using those because of the Security Updates in between those versions and the current updates.  Microsoft doesn't even support Windows XP SP3 any longer. I would say to try updating both the OS and the applications.
