How can I update and continue to use Adobe Acrobat Reader without upgrading to DC?

I tried several times to install the updates recommended by Adobe for my Acrobat XI product.  Whenever the update is in fact an 'Upgrade' to Adobe DC.  I tried this product and it is not the same as Acrobat Reader user friendly product.  I want to continue to be able to read PDF files, that's all.  I have to create documents, sign documents, store information available to me in a cloud somewhere that the world has access to it (NOTHING ON THE INTERNET IS REALLY SECURE) or one of the other computer resource hogging garbage (IMO) that was added to create this thing DC.

All I want to do is read the PDF documents, nothing else.  As PDF and Acrobat Reader were intended to do in the first place, something simple and universal to allow each user of the computer display a document of any hardware or software they had installed on their computer.  Adobe still do and support such a product or should I start to look elsewhere?

You can try to use this tool first remove all traces of your computer:

Then you can download the full Setup offline reader for the version you want (not DC)

After downloading, restart your computer and run the Setup program before anything else. After installation, open the drive and turn off the auto update. If you wish, you can restart your computer just to be on the safe side.
