Disable Automatic update check for annoying Acrobat 8 instances

After a long time, I really couldn't stand it. I decided to fix it.

Sb 1. Earlier versions can be disabled in preferences, but 8 does not.
Sb 2. The update frequency is too fast.
Sb 3: not only updated acrobat, but also updated other Adobe components, some components hundreds of MB

After the upgrade to 8.11, there is actually a place to close, but it is also very Sb, that is, after the update check, the update interface will have an additional preferences option, if it is disabled every time it pops up, this option is not found.

This means that if you cannot access the Internet, the update check will never be completed, and this option will never come out, sb.

The above is an old saying. The solution is as follows:

Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ Adobe \ updater5 \ adobeesdglobalapps. xml

Add: <autocheck> 0 </autocheck>

The same applies to Acrobat Reader 8 and other Adobe CS3 components.

Note: <autocheck> 0 </autocheck> must be included in the adobeupdater tag.
