When I click on a link, I'm receiving the following message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again 9.9".

I checked, it is not running.

    I updated from Adobe Reader DC 2017.009.20044 to version 2017.012.20093, now I am unable to open PDF files in IE, no issues on other browsers.  This happens on internal and external sites.  The error message we receive is "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, please exit and try again.
