If you have ZoneAlarm or some comparable product that allows controlling
LAN/Internet access at the program level, you can block all Internet
access by Acrobat 7.

Users of Acrobat 7.0: be aware that 7.0 has a "phone home" capability
that allows outsiders to monitor your access to specially tagged PDFs.

If you must use 7.0, you should take care to disable use of javascript,
insert a bogus proxy setting, or otherwise firewall the program.
(Acrobat 7.0 accesses a remote server at port 80, so your corporate
firewall probably takes little notice.)
