Adobe Reader Updates - Gotta do it, don't gotta like it
Yes, I like how Adobe Reader has a quasi-automatic update feature.
BAD:
1. updating the Reader somehow added a helper program in my startup folder without asking. I think sugar's great, but I don't put it in your gas tank, do I, Adobe Dev team?
2. put an icon on my desktop without asking. Ba-leeted!
3. has security vulnerabilities. Eeeh, we all have our foibles.
4. knows it has been updated but displays the updates as available for download anyway. This might go away after I reboot. It might not.
Still, it was seamless for me to download the 11 MB update file, and the Adobe Reader reloads without complaining about needing me to reboot. I have a buddy on dial-up that is going to burn your house down over those 11 MB, though.
