Thanks. Unfortunately the firewall method (at least with my firewall,
ZoneAlarm) blocks an update even if I decide to update it by my own manual
choice. Actually that (firewall) is the way I've handled it for now, but
I'd like the option to update by choice. It seems odd that Adobe would
have it asking to update every time it is used. A real pain in the turkey
feathers. I guess MS and others are still pushing the thin client, depend
on constant internet idea. With the computer resources cheaply available
now (gig of memory in my laptop, 500 gigs of hard drive) I don't see the
advantage to thin client.

I'm not sure what's going on here. I've seen references to Adobe 9, while
an update goes after a 46 mb Adobe 8. Not an attractive interim choice on
a dial-up connection

If you are referring to the 'Adobe Updater' function, this can be blocked
with a firewall.
There is also a feature to setup a 'White List' of allowed sites under
the Preference option.

Does anybody happen to know how to stop Adobe Acrobat reader from begging
to get on the internet every time I use it?
