Stop this Popup-windows!

Hi,

my german version of Adobe Reader 7.0.5 always pops up a window with the 
Adobe Reader program files folders when i start my computer. Then, a few 
seconds after I used the Reader, there pops up a message that I have to 
restart my computer before i can update to a newer version. This is getting 
on my nerves. How can I stop that? I don't need the newer version!

Nothing helps. As often as I try to update, it always stays at version 7.0.5 
and as often as I restart my pc, it will always be the same. I tried to 
install to version 7.0.8 for several times after these messages. Without 
effort. (System: Windows XP)

Any hints?

Ron

This is no hint, this is only spam. 39 $ (btw: where ist the Price in 
Euro??) for something I get for free normally!

So, please: Some real hints now! Thanks a lot!

It's not spam at all.  Foxit is free.  Like the poster, I had lots of 
frustrating problems with Adobe Reader.
But I have no problems with Foxit Reader at all.

I removed all the Adobe resident garbage.

Well, OK, I apologize. This price list here 
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/pricing.htm seems to be only for 
the "Pro Pack", but it's really very confusing, clicking on "Pricing & 
Purchase".

What I still didn't find, is, if the software is offered in german language, 
too. They only write about a "language UI support", whatever that is.

Well, I still have some respect to switch from the original software to a 
genericum. But maybe I will decide soon like you did. Thanks for this 
option.

But still I am waiting for other solutions first.

Ron
