For security reasons, I am updating Adobe Reader within our corporate environment from 9.1.3 to 9.2.  I noticed that a new executable is launched at startup called AdobeARM.EXE.  What is the purpose of this?  Is it safe to disable?

We restrict user rights - so if this is some sort of updater service, we cannot have it checking Adobe for updated versions, as the users will not be able to install.  We test all updates internally before deploying them to our users.

So no one knows?  And no one from Adobe can say?  Really?!

You can contact Adobe. This is a user to user forum.

And where might I find their enterprise support contact information?
