Adobe Updater - ASA 5510 problems

Hello, the company I work for has an Cisco ASA 5510 firewall and when anybody in our company tries to update their Adobe using Adobe Updater it causes our bandwidth to peak. If it goes unchecked it will peak for as long as they're trying to run the updater, meaning that the internet is essentially down for 100+ people.

I figure I have 2 options to try and resolve this.

For one I can do a startup script that will disable the updater in the registry. I did this maybe 4 months ago and it didn't work like I had anticipated. Does anybody know the registry key that is used to disable it?

I could also just block the address from our firewall. Does anybody know the actual address that adobe looks at to run its updater?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
