Re: Adobe reader opens and freezes IE for 5 minutes

The page was also ok for me.
It states the page is undergoing changes so perhaps clear your history and
make new links.
There was only a poster in .pdf format which I downloaded.
I do not view them in my browser.
My guess is that you have it configured to display in your browser, and it
picked up the .pdf file on the page but since you had just installed need to
consent to the agreement first if you did want to read it.
Also check your settings for updates and do them manually.
I see no reason for it to be in my startup either.
By the way I only use Adobe reader if absolutely necessary like for
government forms.

This reader is faster and smaller and no install.

I was rather interested in the site as I used to work with those with
Diabetes undergoing dialysis. (Not all had Diabetes) I certainly admire your
strength, if you or an important other is so affected.

| Remove that. The new AR is sort of "web aware" and this can cause
problems.
