It seems every time I open a PDF, I am asked to apply an adobe reader 'Security Update'. Today it tells me that there will be 223.6 mb of updates to download and install. Absolutely ridiculous for a PDF reader and with my somewhat slow connection, this could take hours to download. I assume it must be also updating some stuff related to other adobe software I have installed. Looking at the adobe reader install directory, there is 108 mb of stuff in there. Come on Adobe, this is a utility not an office suite!
