AdobeAcrobat Reader 11 Installation without Service Updater?
Hello!
Is it possible to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 without install "Adobe Acrobat Update Service"?
Is it possible to exclude the Setup program for the service? Is there a setting or something else to install the drive without having to install the service?
The last few hours, I ve looked for a solution, but found nothing on this subject.
We want to use it on Windows 7.
Hi beaviz ,
You would not be able to install Acrobat Reader 11 without Adobe Acrobat update service.
Update service is automatically installed when you install the application.
But after Acrobat Reader is installed, you can manually stop the update service.
You can consult this article to disable the update service through amendments to the registry key: Windows updates
Let us know if that helps.

The installation of Service Pack 2 for Vista failed. I tried several times. Message reads "not successful." "Element not found". I click on the 'Détails' link and it shows the following error: ERROR_NOT_FOUND (0 x 80070490). I tried in several ways through the links suggested to solve the problem and nothing has worked.
I turned to the forums and I saw that many, many people have the same problem with Vista SP2 Upgrade. Microsoft and several of its Vista customers realized that Vista has a lot of problems, but people who have need of the service. Being able to download and install the SP2 can make Vista more stable, but I get the same message mentioned above, and so I am sure are a lot of other people who are trying to get Service Pack 2 integrated into Vista.

You will need to uninstall the Service Pack on the operating system that is installed to do a repair installation upgrade with this Microsoft Vista DVD which has no Service Packs on it.
The Service Pack on the DVD must be at least the same as the operating system Service Pack level installed to make it work.

If you want the updates released after Service Pack, then you cannot install them until you install the Service Pack.

Disaster after installation of Vista updates
I have Vista Home Premium. Thursday night, that prompted, I installed 7 new updates. KB971468, 977165, 905866, 975560, 974145 978262 and 978251.
After restarting my laptop was totally different. My office had lost a lot of icons, the background has been changed, the feel is different (not better!) and all links between my programs and document, photo, music, e-mail, Favorites etc. files have disappeared, along with some of my email account profiles.
Since the incident, it took me several hours to restore links between programs (who acted as if they had never been used before) and my files, restore all my preferences personally chosen, the default values and options and rebuild some of my e-mail account information, which had also been lost. My office always behaves not as I'm used to with my toolbar quick launch now appearing to the right rather than the left at the bottom of the screen and after completely losing, without any sign of being able to recover, the button that clears all back on the desktop. Also, I seem to have lost a long list of iTunes playlists.I am now in trepidation each time I turn on my laptop, as it now does not always connects correctly to each time, sometimes having to be restarted to get in. The first attempt to connect yesterday was greeted with the message "the user profile Service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. After re-booting, the opening of session acted properly.In the 2 years I've owned my Acer laptop it has been totally reliable, until the installation of these updates. I certainly am now very reluctant to install more Windows updates (currently 2 waiting there) until I know what caused my problems. I rely on my laptop so that away from home for the operation of bank accounts and investment, as well as to stay in touch with many people by e-mail, so that the present situation causes me considerable problems.Does anyone know why this happened, please?
What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription? What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications? What third-party firewall (if applicable)?
A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?
Backdoor.Tidserv [AKA Win32/Alureon] and MS10-015
Backdoor.Tidserv did a very good job in this sense, especially with the latest version (TDL3), which uses an advanced rootkit technology to hide its presence on a system by infecting one of the kernel low-level drivers and then cover his tracks. While the rootkit is active there is no easy way to detect the infection, and because he's so deeply in the core, most of the users can't see something wrong in the system... Even worse, because the infected driver is essential for the system boot, Windows will not start in Mode safe either [after installing MS10-015 on a machine infected].

TDSS rootkit 3rd variant is the last member of the Tdss rootkit family that is spreading quickly all over the world. While a number of rootkits is just developed as a proof of concept, this is not the case. TDSS rootkit is well known corporate antivirus because of his goal to get full control over the infected computers and to use them as zombies for its botnet.During these years, that he has always shown a team of skilled people behind it, which always applied advanced techniques often able to bypass antirootkit software. In fact, this last Variant can be easily named as the stealth rootkit in the wild.
This infection is having all the best of MBR rootkit, the best of the Rustock.C and the experience of the old Tdss variants. The result is an infection that spreads quickly on the Internet and it is without being detected by almost all security software and 3rd party anti rootkit software.
.. [20 Nov-09] terms no antirootkit is able to bypass disk filtering technical used by Tdss rootkit but, even if it were possible, this rootkit could not be detected by file size cross check because the size of infected files and original file are exactly the same.
