AdobeGCClient vs Acrobat X

Hi guys!

First off, I really enjoy using Adobe products, because y'all do a good job with making robust, user friendly programs!

I am using Acrobat Pro X. It was corporate purchased and licensed for a single user. It's worked great. Now, since January 23rd, 2017, every time I use Acrobat Pro X, AdobeGCClient pops up with this statement:

"This copy of Acrobat is not genuine Adobe software. Your computer and documents are at risk. Click HERE to resolve this issue. For information, visit www.Adobe.com/genuine"

When I visit www.Adobe.com/genuine, it's an advertisement to use Adobe DC products, exclusively Arcobat Pro DC. I am an engineer, and I have definitive reasons for not updating to Acrobat Pro DC. Is there any way to turn this notification from AdobeGCClient off? AdobeGCClient.exe proactively delays Adobe Acrobat X from starting, and I must close AdobeGCClient.exe everytime.

Thanks ahead for the help!

Cease and desist the use of AdobeGCClient.exe on my computer and all subscriptoin based Adobe Applications. Futher actions can and will be taken if this is not uninstalled from adobe software effectively corrupting the privacy of every subscription.
