Adobe Auto Updater


Lo and behold what is that on my home PC? Adobe launched their new auto-updater on the IT equivalent of Tax Day which (sometimes) sadly comes every month, yes I mean Microsoft Patch Tuesday.

A post on the Adobe Acrobat blog tells the tale.

I suppose I should give them some kudos as between Adobe Reader and Apple Quicktime from people who know things I don't the OS isn't the favorite attack surface for the bad guys/gals any longer. Javascript 'enhanced' PDF anyone? Enjoy the extra 'goodness'...

However I am just trying to figure out if this updater needs local admin perms, and if it does how can this be done with group policy without being an AD ninja.
