Is it possible to turn off the updater?

Edit: I found this with a Google Search

Delete a folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5

I installed 6.0.2 thru 6.0.6 as a group, rebooted and all installed successfully.

I believe after all are installed you (as read from an old post) can uninstall thru Add and Remove programs, all but the first and last versions of Adobe. I can't say that is gospel in all cases, but that is what I did when I had the full series 6.0 thru 8.1]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20463037 Sat, 10 May 2008 20:47:04 EDT Re: Adobe Security Advisory: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20462978 Everready : Does an upgrade from Adobe Reader 7 to Adobe Reader 8.1.2 require a restart?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20462978 Sat, 10 May 2008 20:31:17 EDT Re: Adobe Security Advisory: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20462901 tschopper1 : I currently use Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard and the manual updater only takes me as far as 6.0.6. This is after a fresh install of XP Pro and SP3 update.

Prior to the new installation the updater installed 7.0 thru 8.1. by automatic update.

I have searched the Adobe site and the best I can ascertain is that I may have to pay for an updated version.

I have to admit that the Adobe site leaves me a bit bewildered.

Can anyone enlightening me as to Adobe policy?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20462901 Sat, 10 May 2008 20:10:45 EDT Re: Adobe Security Advisory: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457744 C DM : Wasn't version 8.1.2 released a while back, and I believe also to address a (possibly also critical) security issue? A lot of people should have that version already probably just based on that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457744 Fri, 09 May 2008 15:33:45 EDT Re: Adobe Security Advisory: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20455420 Cudni : Thanks for the update. For the time being when trying to access the update links it comes up with
"..
