    Google says to check the box that says "Don't show this again", duh, but there is no such box.

    I can't find anything from Adobe in my start-up folder. Where else might
    it be?

    It stays there a long time and it moves. It's a real distraction.

    I'm tempted to delete the reader I have. That will teach 'em. I can't believe they think they will make friends this way.

    So far it's only on one win10 Home box, but that's because I haven't installed Adobe on the new computer yet, or the other one. And they've
    made it much more likely that I won't.

    I guess you did not find out how to kill that pop up from appearing?

    He could use Revo Uninstaller like I did. Free, and will rip out adobe crap-ware by the roots ... not a trace left in the registry or any files.

    There are other uninstallers too, but revo is the only one I've
    personally used and able to reccomend.
    I suspect any of then would get rid of his adobe infection.

    You'll never have a moment's peace with any adobe stuff installed ... ever.

    Good luck!
