Update Adobe Reader
You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
After installing the latest Adobe Reader, uninstall all previous versions.
Note. If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.
Alternatively, you can uninstall Adobe Reader (33.5 MB), download and install Foxit PDF Reader(3.5MB) from HERE.
It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.
Note: When installing FoxitReader, make sure to UN-check any pre-checked toolbar, or other garbage.

Kaspersky will not download. I get error message "Launch of Java interupted" . I tried 4 times and same error message.

Thank you Broni. I will do this as soon as I get home later this afternoon.
Hide my IP???? Strange things sure do appear in computer files.
-
I am sorry but I don't have this option Go Tools>Folder Options>View tab. I have tools but no folder or view tab options.
-
I went ahead and ran the scan (or tried to) and it scanned for 2 1/2 hours and has not stopped. I found the Hide My IP in my program files and if we can uninstall/delete it is fine. I did not install that program or do not remember it if I did. I don't use it so I don't need it. I will leave it until you say to uninstall. Thanks for your help.
-
Please do and make sure Hide My IP Address folder is gone from C:\Program Files.
Let me know, when you're done.
-
I uninstalled the program and checked C and as far as I can tell it is gone.

Cool :)
