Many times I see users asking that, under Windows how can the Adobe update checker be turned off ??

It is though recomended that you should always keep the product uptodate however many users would like to turn off the auto update because of certain issues…

SO,

How can you turn off the Adobe auto updater ??

Launch the adobe software, (In my case the Adobe Reader)… now in the menu bar Click Help, and then Check for update…

Now make sure you have connection to the Internet and no firewall is blocking the software… so youcan see the software is checking for updates…

As it completes the check, it should present this window in front of you

Click the option Preference in that window !!! Now please check off the option which says Autometically Check for Adobe updates

From now on, the adobe softwares wont check for updates by them self any more….. You will have to check manually to obtain the updates !!!

This process works with all Adobe products, CS / CS2 / CS3
