So I takes a (rare) look at my desktop just now and there's a new icon called "Acrobat Reader DC".
Not having any memory of installing such a "DC" thingy I Googles it, and I finds several links from Adobe itself assuring that it's "safe" and "trusted". Instantly suspicious.
Then I finds more links warning that it installs Chrome spyware surreptitiously. I don't use Chrome but still..... dafuk happened to Acrobat Reader Period? I rarely use DC unless the power goes out.
Anybody else notice this?
According to this page if you do run Chrome there is a way to prevent it installing, but you'd have to know to do that in advance.
Bastids!
