The adobe acrobat plugins bydefault gets installed the MS Office suite and other supported browsers. The most annyoing situation is when it keeps coming back whenever the office suite is updated. The temporary resolution is when you disable it from the addins in the office suite. But there is a permanenet solution to this too. Duirng the installation of adobe acrobat, just select custom and uncheck the PDFMaker. Here, there will be two options, one is you can select to uncheck on selected plugins or you can select to uncheck PDFMaker completely. After you do this then proceed to installtion of adobe acrobat. This will enable the software not to install the plugins in your system and you are free from the plugins forever.

Awful that one would have to know that this option exists, look for it to disable it.

 

Any software should ASK THE USER before inserting itself uninvited via these plugins into other software programmes, altering the way the user is used them operating.
