Adobe insists on running its updater in the background, all the time. Not welcome. Like other civilized software, it should optionally notify the user of an available update, and allow the user to initiate the update without maintaining an account of logging into it.
I like Acrobat Reader and use it frequently. But I resent (and avoid) this intrusive behavior.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. The updater runs in the backgroud to ensure App remains updated to the latest version with all new features and security fixes. We recommend to allow Adobe Reader/Acrobat to auto update itslef in the background but you can change the setting in preferences dialog.
I would like to turn auto-update off in preferences, if it would stop the nagging. At present, I disable auto-update as a login item. I find it offensive that Adobe helps itself to my login items - but's that another story.
