This thing is really baffling me Acrobat Reader 7 seems to start up in the background without me knowing. When I look at the loaded services in Task Manager Acrobat32.exe is loaded and I haven't opened up a PDF file infact it just started by it's self when I just updated Hereos Of Might & Magic 5.

Does this happen to anyone else or if there another low memory usage PDF reader out there better than AR7.
 
No I deleted the msconfig entry so that it wouldn't it even started up when I went to sign into Amazon.Co.Uk which I still didn't get why.
 
Its starting/watching when you run your browser. Its registered as a BHO(Browser Helper Object) If that bothers you download hijackthis and kill it off.
Or goto Tools|Manage Add-ons....in IE and disable it.
 
Yes that's sorted it cheers it wasn't doing my head in just was slowing my system down cause it was a unexpected load.
