Default Acrobat helper DLL

Hello,

There is an acrobat helper dll that crashes explorer every now and then.
I don't see any particular reason to have acrobat spyware dlls in my
windows explorer, how do I remove it without destroying anything?

Thanks.

What is the name of the file?

Do you have a specific need for all of the Acrobat helpers?

Do you have on your hard drive ACRORD*.EXE ?
If so this is the Adobe reader for PDF files,
which most of us find useful. The name
Acrobat is not usually associated with SPYWARE.

I think it's Acrobat_helper.dll but not sure... would have to wait until
it crashes again and c/p it.

I use the Acrobat Reader in FireFox occasionally but nothing beyond that.

The Acrobat BHO is NOT Spyware.

Just remove the Adobe Acrobat Reader.if you don't want the DLL.

It may be AcroIEHelper.dll which should be in your
E:\Acrobat\Reader\ActiveX
where E is your CDROM drive letter

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat Reader
to see if that stops the crash.

What makes you say it is spyware?

The reader works fine, the DLL crashes. If it's not spyware then what IS
it doing in Windows explorer?

Within the Windows File browser? I've never seen that happen.

FWIW....Once a PDF file has been loaded in the browser, the helper files (and
usually acrord32.exe also) remain loaded throughout the Windows session. It is a
bug in Acrobat Reader.
