.and.they now have their own "installer" that does the installations and then never removes itself.
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rtrent/archive/2008/07/03/adobe-reader-9-0-in cludes-it-s-own-download-helper.aspx Adobe continues to find new ways to rekindle my dislike for them. BTW: The new Adobe is being touted as more secure, yet they added the function to read SWF and FLV files (two of the least secure file types).

They also push some toolbars on you pretty heavily. I use FoxIt here and CutePDF for "printing/creating" pdf files.

I guess Adobe is sliding in 2 other items when you download and install Adobe Reader 9. It puts "AIR" and "Acrobat.com" in your add/remove programs, and an "Acrobat.com" icon on the desktop. Anyone know if I safely uninstall these 2 unwanted programs? Thanks again, Adobe! No virus found in this incoming message.
