why is Adobe trying to force me to buy Pro?

I only need and have Acrobat Reader but everytime I open a PDF a pop up opens asking me if I want to:
a. start free trial and pay later or buy immediately

b. quit

 

I don't need or want the fancy paid package.

I just had this with one of my users. Did everything suggested but it still came up when they tested their file. Turned out they had somehow set Acrobat Reader as the default for opening DWG files and that's why the upgrade window kept popping up. Changing the default app for DWG files fixed this for us.
