Trying to install free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC but got prompted to enter proxy server credentials

[Arthur236704760wi3]

I have been trying to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC but each time I go through the installation process, it keeps prompting me to enter my proxy server credentials to continue.  I am not using any proxy servers and do not have any a Creative Cloud account so why is it doing this?  I'm using a standalone Windows 10 PC running on a home network without a domain.

Where did you get the installer from?

>From the Adobe official website, of course.

From the offical Adobe website, of course.  Where else can one get to download the file from?  Even websites that promote the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC as a free download will have links that point to the official Adobe website (believe me, I've tried to find other sources to download but have failed).
