Do you have this tool setup on your network somewhere – or just on client system only (you might not have it installed on your local drive – or maybe you removed it already?!)? If so, find the network location (client server where you set it up) and that Adobe_Update.exe file should be easy to be found (maybe a search step will help too?!).

See you later…

We blocked adobe updater at the firewall after it blew out our data allowance by checking for updates every time a user opened reader/a pdf

Because the updater cannot find an internet connection it cannot be disabled

I simply rename the updater to adobe_updater.old

Adobe want fix it so we did ;o)

I receive adobe updater pop ups, but I do not have a password. [My husband, who died last a
May may have had one, but I cannot find a record of one.] I assume I would want to update. I assume it is free.
Thanks,
Marilyn
