I think the problem is not with the Reader but all the other crap they have attached on to the full install package. I installed the full package on another PC and it went very smoothly. No problems whatsoever. Meanwhile on the machine that had the Acrobat.com window poping up at boot, other problems appeared.

I am in real estate and constantly fill out web forms, etc. I would get through a few lines or try to copy and paste some info, Reader would either close abruptly without any notice or "IE must close" error message would appear. In either case, I would always loose all of my work. Very disturbing, to say the least.

My solution was to uninstall everything Adobe and reinstall just the Reader from the FTP site listed by Nichols. It looks all good now.

One last note, the difference between the two installations was that on the one that works ended up having an Adobe.com icon on the desktop. The problematic PC had only the Reader icon.

Nichols, thanks for the FTP site! Everything works good now.
