Can someone stop Adobe autoinstalling McAfee with Adobe Reader

Hi, Why does Adobe Reader standardly download and install McAfee??? Does anyone at Adobe know how it is to have 2 virus scanners or security solutions on a PC? I need an Adobe address to send PCs which do not longer because of such a f...ing thing!
The world did not use Semantec Virus scanners any more cause they worked horrible. Now it seems that McAfee has a problem. And Adobe is now paid for something which the world does not need. Shame to Adobe!

To their shame, Adobe offer MacAfee, Chrome and other downloads by default BUT YOU CAN TURN IT OFF if you pay attention.
If you get a download which does not offer a way to turn it off, you may have malware. We have seen things pretending to be Adobe updaters to encourage you to download all sorts of things. This is pretty much certain if you keep getting told to update constantly, despite updating before, because Adobe only have updates every few months.
Download only from http://get.adobe.com/reader

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.

Click "Purge Cache Contents"

How can I stop Adobe Reader from reading (seeking) the floppy drive when opening/closing any PDF?

Ever since I opened a PDF file from my floppy drive Adobe Reader insists on checking/seeking/reading the floppy drive whenever I open and whenever I close any PDF (not using the floppy). It is very annoying, as I use many PDFs per day and it creates a delay and noise every time.

I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

Hello Pat,
Thank you for getting back to me. I have a table with columns in it and I’m trying to copy just one of the columns, think of it as a stock table you would get in a newspaper and I just want to copy the column that has all the symbols in it. I use to be able to do this with no problem in previous versions of Adobe Reader by just putting my cursor next to the column I wanted, holding down the Alt key and selecting the data I wanted . But with the new version that came with my new laptop running Window 8.0 I can not accomplish this task. Adobe Reader wants to copy everything in the table. I would take a screen shot to show you, but when I open Reader, it takes over my entire screen and I can not get back to my task bar or desktop without closing the app. If you could also tell me how to correct or adjust this annoyance I would appreciate it. Needless to say I’m not currently a big fan of the new version of Reader. Is there any way I can go back to a previous version of the product with Windows 8 as my OS?
Thanks you for your help with this,
Ed

Change your iTS password!!!!
Are these charges from Adobe or Apple?
Are these purchases from the App Store or iTunes Store?
Contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Apple and Adobe will do nothing for you - it is your CC issuer that can help.

Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

I can't install adobe reader XI

I uninstalled the program because the last few days the program immediately shuts down and doesn't open again. So I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall the program but I can't get past step 2. It immediately tries to troubleshoot the problem but ends up saying that something caused it to stop working and that I should wait until I get an email of the issue. Which I have not received. I have gone to my colleges Tech support and they don't know what is wrong with it either and they told me to try and get a hold of someone from Adobe.
So why is it that I can't download Adobe Reader XI!? Because I now can't access any of my college work or information that I need to complete my classes.
Thank you to whoever answers this.
Sincerely,
A very angry Student

Try the offline installer http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If that doesn't help, tell us your operating system, browser, etc.

Hi,
in the previous post I leave out that everything starts with the automatic update.
The update of Adobe Acrobat didn't finalize and leave me a message like before I reported. Then I tried to uninstall AR 9 and the process still finalized with error but now, maybe I could solve the problem...I uninstall the program with Revo uninstaller and download the new release of Adobe Reader 10, that maybe do not use the registry key corrupted like the update of AR 9 did.
So, I still have the problem in the registry probably but I could install Adobe Reader.
I think I can leave the key in the registry without any problem, I hope it doesn't affect any program or application.
Thank you anyway

Can't update Adobe Reader 10.01 (Mac Version)

I am running OS 10.6.7 on a MacPro (MacPro 4,1: 8 core - - 2mx 2.93 FHz Quad-Core Xeon). I installed Adobe Reader 10.01 uneventufully. However, many times when on the web Safari says it can't find Adobe Reader to read a document and I have to locate Adobe Reader manually. This didn't happen until after I updated to Acrobat 10.01. Thinking that this might be a bug, I looked for an update for Acrobat Reader. But when I attempt to update Adobe Reader to 10.03, it goes through the motions and then gives the follolwing error message:
"The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation."
"Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
"Error 1301"
I followed directions, reinstalled Adobe Reader and immediately afterwards attempted to install the update. Same error message.
I threw out the old version of Adobe Reader 10.01, downloaded it again, reinstalled it and then attempted the update, Same error message.
I've repaired permissions, used AppleJack to clean caches, used DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. Same error message when attempting to update Adobe Reader.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

REFRESH - I have this same problem. I would like to update this, since I understand there are various security fixes included with each update of Adobe Reader. Is this correct? If no one has an answer, then how can I trash the updater so I at least don't get this annoying message anymore??? It pops up EVERY STINKING DAY!!!

Can't Get Adobe Reader 8.1 to Open in Windows XP

All of a sudden, I can't get Adobe Reader to open in the Windows XP environment on my laptop. Message: "Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close..." [Error Signature: AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: mvcr70.dl ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6] Have tried everything I could think of: uninstalling previous versions, reinstalling 8.1 from the website, disabling Norton 360 protection while downloading. Anybody know what gives and how to fix it?

>When this many people are having this many problems with the program, Adobe has a problem.
For every one person that's having a problem here, there could be fifty more that aren't.
The ones that aren't typically don't come here and talk about it.
>If you read through the Adobe Bulletin Boards you can see that there are many, many people having trouble with Adobe Reader 8.1.
And if you read far enough to see the solutions, you'll notice a big trend in user errors.
I'm not saying Reader doesn't have it's issues (sure it does), just saying that there are no more issues with it than there are with any application.
