Help~How to disable Adobe Updater in Reader 8./9.?

Does anyone here know how to disable the Adobe Updater by registry or Group Policy?(if possible)
I won't like to manually disable them by "Help" -> "Check for updates"
The following registry key only works in 6.*/7.*
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
Help~

I don't know where that preference item is stored. But if it's in the registry, I would do the following if I were in your situation.
*export the entire registry
*set the no-update preference, according to Aaron's suggestion
*export the entire registry again (to a different name)
*compare the two files (e.g. with windiff); that should show you what's changed in the registry

How to disable Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader in Safari

How do I disable Adobe Acrobat Reader to prevent Safari from using it to open PDFs? I have Safari 7.0.5, OS X v10.9.4. FYI, there is nothing in my User> HD> Library> Internet Plugins folder. And I've already right clicked on a PDF in Finder and selected the option to always use Preview to open PDFs. But Safari still opens PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Thanks

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Need to disable adobe updater in reader 10

We deploy adobe reader using the MSI in Group Policy. We just pushed out Reader X. We also push out updates the same way
as our users do not have admin rights. We need to disable automatic updating and checking for updates. The Customization Wizzard is not available for Reader X yet and the adm file we have for 9 does not seem to work on X. Anyone have a solution?

Can you simply set registry using your deployment tools?

How do I disable Adobe Update??

I need to know how to disable Adobe Update so it only runs when I want it to run. I saw that my i7-920 24gig machine was using 100% of cpu tonight. Im running on a 12 hour old fresh install of Win7 64bit and was immediately concerned when i saw how much cpu was being used. When I checked system resources, I saw that it was adobe update that was using 99% of all the resources. I cant have this. Please tell me how I can disable adobe update from running without me initializing it.

How to stop adobe updater from wanting to update

hi i have adobe reader and it keeps poping up i don't need updates for it what i have is fine to open my pdf files can anyone help with how to disable the updater from ever poping up in my tray

If you are on a Mac I have a solution for you. If you have a Mac you don't need Acrobat, it's just slow extra weight trash. But sometime uninstalling can leave behind updater crap thats no better than a virus, shame on you Adobe.
Launch Terminal.app (you can use spotlight and type terminal)
Type: sudo nano /etc/hosts
Enter your OSX password when promoted
add a line in this file: 127.0.0.1 armmf.adobe.com
press <control + x> and save the file
What's this do?
Adobe some how has some weekly background installer that contacts the URL armmf.adobe.com and downloads update software and then prompts you to install it or cancel, never a "don't remind me" option. So this just simply blocks any request from your computer to this one URL. If the updater can't call home then it can't bother you with a useless update it couldn't find. Simple.
The hidden updater will still run and try to call home from time to time and I think someday Adobe should be sued with anti trust violations, but thats another day.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

How do I disable "Adobe Updater"?

After installing Reader, my security software keeps telling me that "Adobe Updater" is trying to access the Internet. I prefer to make all updates manually, and not have any programs download and install them by their own direction without my consent. Even after uninstalling Reader, the message still comes up, I assume my Adobe plugins (Shockwave and Flash) are keeping it running. How can I permanently kill this process?

Should have specified this: I'm running Windows XP.
EDIT: Heh, figured it out myself by just bothering to glance at the taskbar. Even though the program had been uninstalled, the updater process was stuck in some sort of loop, where it was trying to connect but kept getting denied by my computer. I just had to click cancel to get rid of it.
It's fine if a mod wants to delete this now.

How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled. I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
One more question...
When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
Tries from my end till now:
I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
Please help me...

Dilip

No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3. Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

How to disable auto update jre-6u20 by script

Hi,
our users can not update java, because of domain-restrictions.
So they should not become the notification.
How can we disable auto update for version jre-6u20 by script?

Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
Install Local content (See below)
Disables updates to AIR

Turn off internet access/help and copy local help

Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)

You can download the latest version of AIR and Community Help.

How to disable auto update for corporate installation

I've scoured the forums for this information and was not successful locating a viable answer.
We need to update 1500 corporate clients to the latest version of QT, but we need the auto update feature turned off when the upgrade is complete. We do this for two reasons: 1) Users do not have permissions to run the installer, so even if they wanted to run the update they would be unsuccessful, and 2) we need to test any updates before they are distributed to the general population.
For past versions we created a QTP file with the auto update turned off, then placed it into the C:\documents and settings\all users\application date\apple computer\quicktime folder. This method is no longer successful.
Changing the settings for each individual user is not an option, we need a method that will change the setting for any past, current, or future user on all of our computers.
Any guidance is appreciated.

In the best "IT Speak", it should. But there is no way for us to know for certain.
