Is it safe to download adobe reader for my macbook? i don't want any viruses to pop up

can i download adobe reader for my macbook pro? is it safe or will i be at risk for viruses?

You may be confusing Adobe Flash - which is known for security issues - with Adobe Reader perhaps.
I think you are safe to download Adobe Reader. Always update the software when updates are available since many updates do include security fixes as well as bug fixes and any new features that have been added.
I have always had some version of Adobe Reader on all of my Macs and have never had any virus, Trojan or Malware on any of them.

    This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
    But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things.

  • Link to download adobe reader for windows Me

    hi i still run windows Me,and i erroniously uninstalled adobe reader.could someone pkease please direct me to alink that i would be able to download adobe reader to my system.

    Windows ME compatibility was dropped after Adobe Reader 6, and the Adobe website doesn't supply versions prior to 9.
    You can however download the installer for Adobe Reader 6.02 from the FTP archives:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/6.x/6.0/enu
    Customer support for Adobe Reader 6 was stopped long ago, so it will not be updated to protect against security issues.

  • How can I download Adobe Reader for a friend who has dialup and can't spend 500 hours doing it?

    We used to be able to download Adobe Reader. Not any more. Now we can only download a file that does the real downloading. If I want to download a PDF reader that a friend on dialup can install, I need to download something besides Adobe.
