Nebula D asked:

Every goddamned time I open up a PDF file, my screen goes dark and I’m asked if I want to install updates from Adobe for Acrobat Reader.

How do I get this damned Adobe Acrobat Reader to stop asking me if I want to install updates?

I don’t want to change the Acrobat Reader on my computer, ever.

    i hate that too. Open Adobe reader and go to Help>check for updates…preferences and uncheck the automatically check for updates.

    Open up Adobe Reader ( I am using version 7)

    Click on EDIT > Preferences

    In the list under Categories select Updates.

    Select “Do not automatically check for critical updates”

    Untick “display notificatin dialog at startup”
