Adobe Reader Security Updates after Windows XP End of Support

Hi,
I have to check up for our customer, whether there will be any Security Updates for Adobe Reader (XI) on Windows XP after End of Support next year.
Haven't found any information on the web :-(
Thanks in advance,
Nicolai

I don't know, and like you, haven't seen anything.
Here's what I do know.
Android dropped ALL support for Flash Playe June 2012 and Adobe continued to develop and release security updates for the older Android Flash Player versions up till September 10 of this year.
Support for Linux ended with version 11.2, but security fixes for Linux Flash Player are still being developed and released.
Given the still-widespread use of XP in schools and corporate environments, I'd have to say that support (at least security updates) will go on for a while after next June14 when Microsoft officially "sunsets" XP. How long that will be is not info I have.

  • Adobe Reader security update to 9.3.1 not working.

    I have updated adobe reader to 9.3.1 but in Secunia PSI it's still being reported as insecure.
    I uninstalled adobe reader completely, cleared all traces from the registry, and reinstalled 9.3.0, and let it check for updates. it said there weren't any.
    I downloaded the security fix to update it to 9.3.1 and installed it successfully.
    Adobe reader now says it's 9.3.1 in the Help About option on the help menu.
    However the Reader exe file AcroRd32.exe version is still 9.3.0.148 dated 21/12/2009, as are all the plugin files except for the Forms plugin that is version 9.3.1.203 dated 02/02/2010.
    I have since done a successful repair install of Adobe Reader, but PSI is still saying it's insecure because of the file version 9.3.0.148 for AcroRd32.exe, and the plugin files except the Forms plugin,
    Why isn't the security update to 9.3.1 updating the exe file and plugins?  Is it even working at all and fixing the critical security risks it's supposed to be fixing? It would seem all it's doing is to change the Help/About screen to read 9.3.1, and changing the Forms plugin...  
    Running on WIndows 7 home premium.

    I have same problem using Windows Vista Home Premium. Just ran Secunia and went to link and downloaded and installed 9.3.1.203, but, AcroRd31.exe still shows ver 9.3.0.148 in the Acrobe Reader files on my computer???  I do not think that the problem is solved. Apparently the update is not working correctly.

  • Deploying Adobe Reader X update 10.1.4 ends in error 1310

    Hello,
    I try to update the reader installations in our company but on many clients it ends up with error 1310 (not enough rights to access C:\Config.msi-Folder).
    If I start the msp-file manually it throws about 10 exceptions that it cannot write or read a file in C:\Config.msi\*.tmp. If I click retry, the installer can read or write, so i click retry everytime the error occurs and at the end the update is installed.
    How can I deploy the patch silently?
    Is there any hint?
    I tried all of the solutions shown in here http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-1603-install-cs3-cs4.html
    But none of it works.
    Please help me.
    -Joerg

    If you have any antivirus or backup programs running on this system(s), try to disable them temporarily.
    C:\Config.msi folder is maintained by the Windows Installer Service.
    If WIS cannot access it, either this folder already has corrupted permissions or some other program holds this folder "hostage"

    After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.
    This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.
    I am attaching the screen shot of Desktop Gadgets and Security updates of Windows 7.
    Kindly solve this issue ASAP.

    You are not addressing Apple, but a community of unpaid volunteers. So ASAP won't cut it. Also, you should refrain from posting personal information (like your email address) in the body of your comments, as this is part of the community usage guidelines.
    Have you reinstalled the latest Boot Camp Windows 7 drivers, just in case Microsoft overwrote some of them during the Windows 7 security update?

  • Adobe Reader X Crashes after Java Update to Version 7 Update 51

    I just installed the new Java update Version 7 Update 51 and now Adobe Reader X crashes in Windows 8.1 within 3 seconds, any advise would be helpful.

    Thanks.  I've posted there as well.  Anyone know if there's a workaround to keep reader from crashing with this form, or is my only option to roll back the servers until the creator of the form updates it?
    (I have notified their webmaster of the issue, but who knows how long it will take the state to update the form.)

    FYI

    Hi Susan.  I hope there's a better 'fix' coming to replace this "uninstall the updates, restore, then reinstall the updates after the restore".  This kind of workaround requires that all of us remember that there's a problem
    with KB3023562 and KB3004375 from now until the end of WS2012E.  Not sure I'll remember this 6 months from now when the problem crops up during a restore.   -:(

  • Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

    I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

    I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.

  • Adobe Reader Security Settings menu item missing

    On a user PC, under Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2), I am not finding the Security Setting Menu option. I searched for this, and I found out that it must be under "Edit/Protection".
    See snapshot below:
    Any idea ?
    Appreciate your help.
    Tarek.

    Thanks for the reply, Nikhil,
    Also, I found another issue.
    After I managed to create the Signature using Windows Certificate Option, I tried to take a backup from the certificate store from Internet Options -> Content -> Certificate -> Export, then I am unable to export the Private Key. Only the public key option is available, and the other option "Yes, export the Private key" is dimmed or disabled.
    Is this also new feature of Adobe Reader XI?
    I am 100% sure that in other installations on another PC, after I create the Windows Certificate of the Digital Signature from Adobe Reader Security Settings, then I can take a backup of this certificate from Internet Options and I can select this option "Yes, export the Private key" during export of the certificate.
    Appreciate your feedback on this matter.
    Tarek.

  • Cumulative Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 Warning!

    Not sure how many of you guys remember the problems associated with the Windows XP Service Pack 2 when it was first released, but the latest Cumulative Security patch completely disabled my Plextor 708A DVD drive and locked up Windows Explorer. 
    Here is the problem patch:
     o Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB883939)
    It caused my Plextor 708A to give off two blinking Amber lights, which according to Plextor indicates the drive is defective.  Plextor actually tells you to get a RMA ticket and to return the drive.  Luckily I found it odd that my DVD drive became defective after I installed the latest windows update and tried uninstalling the 'fixes' before going that route.  Fortunately, removal of one of the 'fixes' solved my problem.
    If you find that your DVD or CD Player no longer works after doing a windows update, then do the following:
     o Go to Control Panel
     o Select Add Remove Programs
     o Scroll to the bottom and select Security Update for Windows XP (KB883939)
     o Click 'Remove'
     o Restart your computer
    I might not have the latest security fix right now, but at least my computer is running. 
    Stu:  Can you report this to MSI and have them get in touch with M$?

    i will, if this is a problem affecting a lot of users.
    has anyone else experienced this problem?

  • When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

    When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

    Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

  • Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download

    I tried to download Adobe Reader 9 and the installation froze around 83%.  After multiple attempts I tried downloading an older version (Adobe 8) and it worked but the installation folder for Adobe 9 is still on my desktop and it will not let me delete it. I have already tried using the Windows Install cleanup tool but it did not work. Any other ideas on how I can get rid of this installation program?

    Thanks.. I managed to find a way to make it work.. I had no Adobe Reader in my list of programs when I went to Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove..  I took a  chance and deleted Acrobat.com.. that allowed me to reload the latest v of Reader.  I hope it didn't mess anything else up.

    I had same situation. Was able to delete by the following: (don't know why)
    In Windows Explorer dragged the Adobe AIR folder from Desktop to another folder (which
    removed it from the desk top display). Then just deleted it from the other folder.
    Hope it works for you.

  • How can I stop  Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

    I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
    I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Edit>Preferences
    Under Page Display:
    Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
    Also, under Search:
    Click "Purge Cache Contents"
