Hi, I too got the Chrome tag along install courtesy of the automatic update (now turned off) for Reader several weeks ago. Most irritating. Adobe seems to think that is a feature. I opened a priority security incident for the unauthorized new install, not update, of software on my PC. They said that nobody else minded. I don't believe that, but am I perhaps the only one who opened a security incident?
