#@&%^*& Adobe updater!

[HavocXphere]

why not just update it?

And suck the intarwebz dry? No man...those updates are frikken huge.

Ja... the program works fine without updating it. I don't use it every single day either.

If MSCONFIG is not showing the entry as a startup item, but the item is appearing in the task tray it can only be in one location in the registry. That is in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
MSCONFIG doesn't show the Runonce entry because it doesn't expect software providers like Adobe to leave the entry there on the next reboot.
This is either: an oversight on Abobe's part ie negligence. OR they're being naughty.

thanks
I'll give it a shot

I run it in a virtualbox without internet so it can sit in the tray and I don't give a s***

...block it with your firewall software? Check your Running Services to see if there is an entry automatically running when you boot - Start->Programs-> Administrative Tools-> Services

Rename AdobeUpdater.exe to something else and the problem goes away.

That helped. Thanks. And even clicking on the update option doesn't work anymore. Cool

Another trick is to set the permissions to Deny Full Control to Everyone
