How do I make Adobe program files accessible to virus scan?

Following Jeff's advice, I am reposting my original question in this forum with the screen shots. (I have posted too many questions and have gotten several useful answers. However my main question has gotten only one answer, notably that I should not use any virus protection program on my editing computer. Since right now this is my only computer, I can't follow this advice.)
The issue: The BitDefender Antivirus program skips all (or most?) Adobe program files because they are password protected.
My questions:
1. Should I just leave those program files un-scanned? (Any danger that viruses could get into password protected files?)
2. Are those files password protected by Adobe? If so is it to avoid changes (deliberately or accidentally) made by the users?
3. If there is no potential danger to un-protect them, how do I do it?
Please see two screen shots below.
Thanks for any help,
Laci.

Not possible with Reader. As suggested, look for a better way to transfer your files, or use the trial version of Acrobat to optimize the PDF.

    how do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file?

    What is your current default?  If Adobe Acrobat (X or XI), you can set it in your preferences.
    If it's another program, reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will set it to the default program.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How do I make Adobe Reader X my default PDF Reader (over Nitro)?

    How do I make Adobe Reader X my defaulf PDF reader (over Nitro)?

    Very helpful, slight change, after right clicking PDF causing list of possible programs, go to    Open With, then when the list comes up do not click on desired program, scan down to the bottom of pop up menu to Choose program, right click that causing another menu "Open with" window, then selectr Adobe from the list and also click the box to the left of "Always use this selected program to open this kind of file", and then click OK. 
    These variations may be due to different versions of Windows - I have XP SP3.  I consider that ~graffiti deserves 10 points for his answer!!!  I worked for teo days trying to fix thi so I can doemload legal files from PACER without having to pay their fees for my case files.

  • How do i make adobe emailer function?

    how do i make adobe emailer function?

    Here's what I found at the download site:
    Follow these steps to get started:
    You need to install the Creative Cloud app in order to install this Add-on
    Click "Get Creative Cloud App"
    Install a compatible app, if needed, and make sure to Sync files to Creative Cloud
    Turn on Files Sync when you've installed Creative Cloud app, your Add-on(s) will be automatically installed
    That's all the author has to say, other than he no longer has time to support any of his scripts.
    Because of new projects and a changing demand for my time, it will be necessary for me to move on to new projects at Adobe. For this reason I will no longer be able to support, or update many of my scripts and panels. Never fear! – I am releasing the source code for many of my programs and if you are a programmer then you can use this code to modify and change my scripts to meet your needs. If you are not a programmer then I recommend working with anyone on the list of programmers that I have supplied below. However! Let me make it clear that his code is not to be sold. This is an open and free source to be used for the good of humankind and Adobe Photoshop users around the world.
    May the source be with you...

    how do i make Adobe professional v 6 compatible with Windows 7?

    using compatibility mode when clicking on the installation file is your best option
    and, if you need further help, what program are you trying to install? there is no adobe professional.  you've omitted some words that specify the product.

  • How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply
    have not been able to get a reply in any other Adobe forum, I decided
    to just post this question to ALL Adobe forums until I get a response.........
    How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the *******
    "Combine Supported Files in Adobe Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    Best,

  • How can I make Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager use 3.3.0 version of PhoneBuild?

    How can I make Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager use 3.3.0 version of PhoneBuild rather than the 2.5.0 version?  I tried following the instructions to upgrade PhoneBuild to version 3.3.0 - seemed to work, but Captivate is still outputting using 2.5.

    I tried that recently but could not find a way out.
    However, I figured out that we can upload the HTML5 zip file directly to the PhoneGap and build the app. This not only makes it a 3.3.0 version by default, it will also allow you to change the default app name, description, and most importantly the icon of the app.

  • How can I make my program Run forever?

    I would like to know how can I make my program execute some method while the GUI still open. I have something like this.
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("****************************");
        System.out.println("    PACKET READER CONSOLE   ");
        System.out.println("****************************");
        IPDetector window = new IPDetector(); // IPDetector is the JFrame
        window.setTitle("IPDetector Analyzer");
        window.pack();
        window.show();
        PortListener pl = new PortListener();// Is my portlistener class
        PacketReader c = new PacketReader();
        while(JFrame still open){// I dont know how to put a statemente here
          pl.start();// this method reads from a port and returns a string
          String cc = pl.data;// gets the string from the port listener
          while(!cc.equals("")){
            c.portWriter(cc);// writes the string into a file
      }I want that my portlistener keeps reading all the time, and if is something in the socket information.
    Should I use a thread? Any ideas? thanks.

    I still not understanding how to make it thread. My main class is this one IPDetector. and it looks like this.
    public class IPDetector extends JFrame {
      // Declaration of the instance variables
      private static ArrayofDisplay  ad = new ArrayofDisplay();
      private ArrayofCreators database = new ArrayofCreators();
      JLabel sourceLabel;//etc..
      public IPDetector() {
        IPDetectorLayout customLayout = new IPDetectorLayout();
        getContentPane().setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 12));
        getContentPane().setLayout(customLayout);
        sourceLabel = new JLabel("Source IP Add.");
        getContentPane().add(sourceLabel); 
        addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
            System.exit(0);
      // I get confused here...
      private boolean alive; // Do I need to declared here?
      public void setAlive(boolean val) { // This one also?
        alive = val;
      // IPDetector Methods...
      public void displayCaller(ArrayofDisplay aD){  }
      public void setAndReplace(String text)  {    }
      public void refresh(){ }
      public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg){ }
      //etc...
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("***********************************************");
        IPDetector window = new IPDetector();
        window.setTitle("IPDetector");
        window.pack();
        window.show();
        PortListener pl = new PortListener();
        PacketReader c = new PacketReader();
        while (alive) {// Is this correct here?
          pl.start();

  • How do I make Adobe Reader my default PDF reader ?

    Hi im trying to open PDF  a file from a website , but unable as it has to be adobe viewer how can I make adobe my default reader ?
    Thanks Davie

    Davie,
    My question would be why would you want to have Acrobat as the default view? Preview comes with OS X and opens PDF documents just fine. However if you must then select any pdf on the computer then type Command I (I as in Ivan) to get the information window on the document. Next chose Adobe View under Open With and click Change All.
