Adobe is big and fat and crawling with all kinds of spyware. they constantly update flashplayer. I dumped it and now use foxit reader.

+1 for dumping Adobe and using Foxit to read .PDF files. However, be aware of the couple pieces of crapware that will also get installed, if you choose the the quick method of installation instead of manually.
