Hi Guys,

I installed Adobe Reader 9 on Windows 7 ultimate. But there is a SEPARATE icon as “Acrobat.com” on the DESKTOP. Does it contain any ADDWAR OR MALWARE OR ANYTHING THAT IS DANGEROUS TO SYSTEM?

Once again, in appropriate title.

Secondly, there is nothing wrong with the shortcut. It is just a URL pointing to Adobe's site.

In case you didn't know, Adobe Reader used to be known as Acrobat Reader.

@kumarn_2004: you are a very old member and you dont know the forum rules.

Relax guys, try and differentiate between people finding their way around and deliberately trolling...

Actualy it's Acrobat Reader, the free version is Adobe Reader.

Any one used the paid version would know this. In Acrobat reader you have many more functionality rather than just the pdf reader.

I use google chrome's inbuilt pdf reader. Adobe Reader is just too bloated and space consuming.
