kudos:3 | [Rant] Adobe Updates The updates from Adobe are getting out of hand. Every week, I need to upgrade flash or reader.
Today, the flash update tried to install google toolbar and google chrome.
WTF. |

| Uninstall Reader, install something like Foxit reader and much fewer updates will be required to close security holes.
Adobe integrated Flash into Reader 8 and above, allowing exploits to be hidden as executable movie files. (Sort of like how Active-X was exploited, MS thought the power to install was cool but so did the bad guys.)
The linking of "suggested software" to a different company's software downloads is annoying to say the least. |

Foxit reader is a good product.. better then adobe reader. Flash so far doesn't have an alternative as far as I know. |

I wouldn't mind the updates so much if it didn't require a reboot almost every time! |

I think flash just wants to roll an update every time I reboot regardless if it is an update. |

I don't seem to be suffering from endless ADOBE updates...... oh wait I'm using Xfce. 
Not sure if there's a version of Document Viewer for Windows or not.

I've used the free version of PDF XChange Viewer for over a year now and I prefer it to Adobe or Foxit. Not that everyone else would prefer it, I'm just mentioning it as another good option. »www.tracker-software.com/product···-viewer/
