You will need to do a few things. First-run a full virus scan and spyware/adware scan too. Second-run the Add/Remove programs Uninstaller for ALL versions of Adobe Reader. Make sure you get ALL of the files and folders by checking Program Files/Adobe. If that isn't enough-run Windows Clean Up utility. You may want to run a Registry cleaner as well. I have found that Crap Cleaner and WinOptimizer are useful for this task. Worst case is manual editing-VERY DANGEROUS. All of this assumes you are on a Windows XP w/SP-2 machine. Now you can do a standard download. Put the files in a "Temp" folder that you create. Run from there and install Reader 8. This should work for you. If not, several of us have written in various messages what else to do.
