Version: Adobe Reader 9
Pros: Is big and thorough, or so I hear
Cons: Too big, but unable to try it as it won't download, probably because my version 9 is stuck and unremovable. Come to think of it, that may be a good reason not to replace with more adobe.
Summary: I did download the Foxit reader but still unable to get Adobe Flash to work; therefore no clips or videos. Still have no idea why Adobe XX and XX##*p quit working as before, or how to get rid of them to make room for replacements.Any advice would be... read more

"A bloated pig that acts like a virus"
Pros: Not a thing
Cons: Snuck a registry change to the registry to keep the message center loaded at all times. Deletion doesn't help, it puts it right back
Summary: It sneaks in via a back door (that I'm still looking for) to pester and annoy me at every boot up. Can't find any documentation on how to stop it. I used CCleaner to remove the Registry entry, and it comes right back again. If I don't find it, it'... read more
