Hi Frank,

I'd like to follow up with you on this. Could you please get in touch with me

I'm cautiously optimistic that this particular zombie beast has finally been 
destroyed.

The unwanted install of DC happened twice more since my last post, and in a 
rage I went to vent at Adobe support. Of course, one is not allowed to contact 
them for such a lowly product (or not having parted with cash earlier), but a 
few posts in the "forums" section led me to look at the windows Task scheduler. 
Interesting critter.

Sure enough, our delightful friends had entered a task to update Reader at 
EVERY login. I'm not familiar with the nuts and bolts of the scheduler, but 
apparently there are no settings to notify the user, the task "just happens". 
(Or, if such notifications are possible, they were certainly disabled for this 
task.)

With MUCH GLEE, I found the command to DELETE this task, and happily did so. I 
confirmed that the Reader Update task is no longer in the task list for this 
system.

So, we'll see just how much of a horror movie is rolling here, and whether or 
not I'm updated to DC again. If so, I won't need to email; you'll *hear* me 
scream from thousands of miles away.

A note to Adobe if you're listening: please don't do things like this. Such 
actions only alienate people.
