How do you get rid of Acrobat Reader? It just keeps coming back.

So, I have Adober Reader 10.1.12 installed on my machine. I've tried three times now, even used the uninstaller app provided by Adobe and Adobe Updater just keeps downloading it again. It doesn't bother asking to do this... It doesn't even say it's doing anything until the deed is done. Then I have to restart just to uninstall Reader again which I might say is a little frustrating and of course 'Adobe Updater' doesn't exist in the Uninstall list as anything I recognize.
So since my options have been tucked away in some hidden and arcane menu or config file... I suppose I need a hand finding them.

Windows 7 64 with current service pack. And... That's what's weird. I don't find a folder even when searching but the updater keeps reporting that it's installed something. Hold on, I'll restart it again and see what it says.
Restarted: Still no Reader folder and it's not resetting my current default .pdf program. It's also still not in my uninstall list now... so maybe it's just Updater being crazy? Is there any way to uninstall that then? Thanks, by the way.

    I was looking up Olympic stats on  Norwegian website, and must have inadvertently clicked a link. The dialog box says: "There is no application set to open the URL nasjoner:2"

  • When I use under file save page as a desktop icon firefox downloads 2 a icon and a folder, how do I get rid of the folder and just keep the icon like in I.E.

    I'm just trying to save my favorite website short cut icon to the desktop instead of using bookmarks for everything. In I.E. you have the option to save to desktop your favorite website and you only get a shortcut icon. but in Firefox if you save your website to your desktop you get both the website icon but also a folder. but if I try to remove or delete the folder it removes the icon also. how in Firefox can I get just a shortcut icon for favorite website but without the folder.

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

  • How can i get rid of Safe Search permanently - it keeps coming up as a plugin

    When I try to search in Firefox, the search keeps going through Safe Search, which apparently is a site that hijacks the Firefox browser. I think I have deleted it using my anti-virus program, but Firefox keeps listing it as a plug-in

    By the way, some extensions have the ability to hide, so it can be useful to test searching in
    '''Firefox's Safe Mode'''
    This is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any improvement? Please check the Extensions section of the Add-ons page to see whether anything new is appearing and if it can be removed.
    If the problem still occurs in Safe Mode, you may want to check:
    '''Connection Settings'''
    By default, Firefox will connect using IE's settings, which I think are the same as Windows' settings. Please check both of the following:
    (A) Firefox
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings" but try "No proxy"
    (B) Windows
    Either in IE or the Windows Control Panel, call up the Internet Options dialog. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings. If anything is checked here, make a note of it, then try unchecking everything.
    Any difference?

  • How do you get rid of yellow triangular with ! in middle that appear against some of my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar?

    I have yellow triangles next to some of my icons in my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. They have an exclamation mafrk in them. It probably happens when there is difficulty connecting to them. But they hang around. How do you get rid of them even when the bookmark works fine? I have FF 4.0 on a Snow Leopard Mac.

    This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
    A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

  • How do you get rid of 'empty' pre-roll time in logic pro 9?

    how do you get rid of the pre-roll time in logic pro 9?  
    My project's start time is 8-bars before any material, or tempos, or anything...  
    Can't move the start time back to ")" (zero)    STUCK!!  at -8
    The song now has 20 seconds of dead air time in a pre-roll.
    None of these worked or revealed anything...
    -tried making a new copy of song
    -looked into every track's file information looking for a spurious entry
    -tried deleting the time/space

    Hi
    Check for any Track Automation nodes in the "preroll'.
    CCT
    Edit
    You should note that generally negative (or zero) project start numbers should be avoided at all cost: there are many peculiar behaviour problems associated with them.

  • I added a program but somnehow ended up with "searchqu" as my search engine, how do you get rid of it?

    I added a program that somehow put the search engine "searchqu" on my computer. How do you get rid of it? I looked up in the web engines and it is not listed. A blog board I read says it is coming through google chrome that it has to be uninstalled... any ideas?

    Searchqu gets installed if you don't opt-out of the installation when you install a 'free' app from bandoo.com which provides free emoticons.
    If you have this app on your system now, uninstall it first, otherwise searchqu will reappear again after you complete the following steps.<br><br>
    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.<br><br>
    #In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    #Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top again, copy/paste the following (remove keyword.URL first): '''browser.startup.homepage'''<br><br>
    #Right click it, choose '''Modify '''and then click '''Reset'''.<br><br>
    #Close the tab.<br><br>
    #Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove these add-ons if they're in there: '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''.<br><br>
    #Next, open Windows Explorer and navigate to '''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins'''. In there, delete the following: '''SearchquWebSearch.xml'''<br><br>
    #Go to Add/Remove Programs and look for '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''again. Remove if found. You might possibly find a reference to "Web Search" (searchqu) in Add/Remove Programs too. If so, remove it.<br>
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    Next, open a Command Prompt (Run As Administrator) and type the following: '''regsvr32 /u searchqudtx.dll''' and hit Enter. If you get an error message, you'll have to enter the full path. Do a Windows search for '''WI3C8A '''and then right click it and choose Open Containing Folder, or Open File Location. Then make a note of the full path.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>

  • How do you get rid of master password promt box?

    How do you get rid of the master password prompt box without getting rid of using the master passwords feature? I like that my passwords are locked so no one can see them but I get annoyed when I have to type my master password in every time I open up a web page. Would like to only type in master password when I want to view my saved passwords. Does any one know how to remove the annoying box?

    Sorry, that isn't the only purpose of the Master Password feature, "locking" your Saved Password dialog from being viewed.

    \Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I also have this problem, with an email I mistakenly attempted to send through my RoadRunner account (which doesn't allow sending if you're not using them as your ISP).
    I've deleted the email from my out box, but I keep getting the notices, even after a reset.
    Tapping on the error message brings up the Outbox, with no messages. :-(   Tapping on the header brings up the message "Login credentials rejected. Update your password." Tapping on that message brings up the "Edit Road Runner" scene.
