Is notification for Adobe Reader Update 11.0.0.04 fake?

Yesterday a notification popped up on my iMac (OSX 10.8.5) asking me if I wanted to download or install Adobe Reader Update 11.0.0.4. Was this an Adobe error with the upgrade number or could it possibly have been a fake notification and possibly malware. I pressed ESC rather than clicking yes or no on the popup. Do I have anything to worry about? I then went to the Adobe website and downloaded the 11.0.04 update. Thanks, Linda

Or download/install the update manually from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5639

  • Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

    I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer.  From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file.  (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
    So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP.  My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
    The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
    The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
    The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
    I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above).  Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"?  They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
    Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out.  Can anyone help please?  What is recommended?  Thanks!

    No one answered, but I think probably all can be used.  I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe.  Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

  • CANNOT stop email notifications for Adobe Reader Forum(s)

    Hi all,
    To be brief, I have Googled this problem and also followed many instructions I have found on Adobe's site, and not one thing I have tried has gotten me UNsubscribed from Adobe Reader forum email notifications.  Many of the "Googled" results are many years old, and the screen shots don't even match the screens I have in Windows 7 Pro.  It is impossible to follow some of the instructions provided, as the descriptions within also don't match what I'm seeing on my screen.  Meanwhile, I am receiving hundreds of emails about forum activity, and if I just delete them, they somehow reappear in my Inbox.
    Does anyone please have up-to-date instructions for UNsubscribing, that really work ??
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave G.

    Please let us know if Claudio's link worked.  I am moving your post to http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments where a forum admin can help you if you still have problems.

  • Is there a network management solution for adobe reader updates.

    Hi
    I'm looking for a program we can install on our update server to push adobe updates to +\- 300 users that don't have admin rights.  Anyone know of any software that would do this?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Doug:
    Since your options don't seem to be limited by pay vs. open source, you have a multitude of possible solutions. You could purchase the now outdated SMS 2003 product from Microsoft, or elect to go with their "latest and greatest" distribution management product SCCM. We have dabbled with another similar product here that shows promise: Altiris. An open source option that I ran across in my research is WPKG. I can not vouch for WPKG but it seems a viable solution. Keep in mind, with a paid product, you are paying for support as well as the software. If you elect to go with an open source option, support can be somewhat limited in scope.
    I hope this helps?

  • Adobe Reader update 11.0.09   Broke my mouse magnifier.  I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install.  How do I get rid of the prompts?

    My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen.  Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows.  Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away??   It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014.  I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse.  I use that a LOT.  I can't lose it.  I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously.  What to do? 

    Thank you I will try that.  Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update?  I didn't even know there was a more recent one.

  • How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe??

    How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe (adobe reader, flash player, etc.)
    Is there way from SCCM2012 or group policy or any easy way?????
    Please help me

    If you mean the built-in functionality of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash, it's different mechanism for both.
    For the reader, check this guide for example:
    http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/bid/84409/Adobe-Customization-Wizard-XI-Tutorial
    For flash, check this guide for example:
    http://jthys.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/disable-automatic-updates-for-adobe-flash-shockwave-player-reader/
    After you've studied the above guides, you need to implement those to be used with ConfigMgr application deployment so that when you deploy Reader/Flash, you get the result you want = no automatic update functionality.

  • Will automatic update select 'Adobe Reader X' after support ends for 'Adobe Reader 9.5.5' on 6/23?

      After the recent update for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ the end of support for this version is June 23, 2013. This is installed on an edition of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2’. System type: 32-bit Operating System.

      Probably is the best way to go if end of support for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ is June 23, 2013. Does automatic update select the latest version of ‘Adobe Reader X’?

  • Remove an update for Adobe Reader

    Hi everyone,
    I have searched around and couldn't find an answer regarding this... I would like to remove update 11.0.10 for Adobe Reader. I need to do this in order to test some of our in-house applications.
    I would like to remove the update only, not the whole Adobe Reader application since we might have to push a solution to thousands of people.
    I tried multiple MSIEXEC.EXE commands to uninstall the patch but always get an error stating that this patch cannot be uninstalled. is it true? Am I forced to uninstall the whole product?
    Thanks for your help

    I should say so, yes. I don't think Adobe Reader does the necessary thing of keeping copies of all modules at all versions so you can roll back selectively.
    You could probably slipstream patches into the original 11.0 installer to make a single install, using normal Windows Installer techniques.

  • Adobe Reader Updates and Flash Plugin for Reader.

    I was surprised to find out that Adobe Reader Updates and also Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader cannot be installed on Windows 7 without Admin Rights!!!!!
    I remember on Windows XP this was not an issue. I am sure I have checked the possibility of installing Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader on Windows XP without Admin Rights and it worked...
    Now, we have some major issue...
    I have prepared Adobe PDF Portfolio for some new policy for Housing Loan, and deployed it to be open from a Web Browser. As per my testing, it worked very nice, and the Business User loved it. On Windows XP, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, the user will be guided to install it, and it works very nicely.
    Just before sending the announcement to all users, we realized that on Windows 7, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, then when the user clicks on the link to open the PDF Portfolio, then nothing happens. The browser window will open, and it will hang.
    Then we found out that on Windows 7 we have to install the Reader Flash Plugin manually, and also, the user must have Admin Rights ...
    Now, a decision has been made to cancel the work done using PDF Portfolio, and develop a simple page with links to the required documents...
    Any solution for this?
    How we can install the required plugin without the need for Admin Right?
    Why on Windows 7, the user does not get prompts to guide him to install Adobe Reader Flash Plugin?
    Tarek.

    I think I can see the reason for this. The Flash Player is separated from Adobe Reader; the system component is now used. (It appears that the "browser plug-in" and "Flash plug-in for Adobe Reader" are indeed the same thing, loaded from the same system location).
    Adobe are following recommended practice. It is right and proper that software is installed by the administrator. This then means that the non-administrator end user is protected from malware which attempts to change that software for bad reasons.
    Nobody wants to walk round installing 1000 copies of software. Personally, I'd draw the line around 5 copies. Above that, software designed for bulk use is deployed centrally using enterprise deployment tools.
    There are even more powerful reasons to do this today, as security updates should be installed almost immediately, and end users won't bother. Generally, the tools are standard, but the vendor adds support for deploying software in these standard frameworks.

  • Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7

    For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
    So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
    Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
    Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!

    Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
    Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:
