[Framers] OT: Stopping Adobe's auto install of Reader DC

[Craig, Alison]

How do you *re*install Reader 11?

I despise the Acrobat "DC" programs and have adamantly refused to upgrade Acrobat Pro 11 to the "DC" version at work - although I seem to be stuck with it at home.

I'm really tired of companies reworking their programs so they're "new and improved" - are you listening Adobe and Microsoft?

Generally that means they *look* cool (or what some dork thinks is cool) but they're actually massive steps backward in productivity as they keep driving us back to the mouse and away from shortcut keys.

Subject: [Framers] OT: Stopping Adobe's auto install of Reader DC

This is getting insane. Four times now, behind my back, Adobe has
"upgraded" Reader 11 to DC. NO updating controls than I can find are
set to auto. They're either set to "ask before updating" or disabled.

I keep removing DC and reinstalling 11 (you'd think Adobe would get
the message), but like a bad horror movie, the DC monster keeps coming
back.

Am I missing an update control somewhere? (Win7 Pro, SP1)

I recall seeing some apps designed to block Adobe from doing this, but
it seems ludicrous to have to do that (and who knows what's lurking
in those apps).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
