    That might be it. It's a little worrying but not specifically about Reader. Did you try following the instructions in the message?

    Hmm, I wonder if you installed the free trial of Adobe Acrobat at some time? Rather than the free Acrobat Reader? I'm just clutching at straws, but I can't see why it would do that every time.

    I removed the reader and re-installed and now get a new message everytime I open a pdf.

    Do you (knowingly) have a screen reader, read out loud, keylogger, recorder etc. ?

    Instead of opening the file in the browser, save it locally and then open it in Reader directly.

    Most people don't have to. Perhaps you can share a screen shot of the prompt but PLEASE DON'T EMAIL IT.
