Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the even-the-reader-is-an-eyesore dept.

Phr3n3tik writes "Adobe Acrobat has long included a toolbar plugin to automate PDF Making from Office Products. Those who found the toolbar an eyesore, or just used it infrequently could always hide it from view. Not so in their new versions, (6, and 7 apparently.) Their new take on the PDFMaker toolbar is getting some users riled up, since it is harder to Move/Hide/Delete/Uninstall this new toolbar than many forms of malware!"

    Uh, then just uninstall Acrobat and re-install it without the toolbar. 1 minute later, you're all set.
