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. -- Model: INFJ Primary function: Coprocessor Secondary function: Cluster commander "Even a child who is pure at heart And does his homework neatly May become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms And the moon is full, completely." |

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. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

I think it's Acrobat_helper.dll but not sure... would have to wait until it crashes again and c/p it. Do you have a specific need for all of the Acrobat helpers? I use the Acrobat Reader in FireFox occasionally but nothing beyond that. -- Model: INFJ Primary function: Coprocessor Secondary function: Cluster commander "Even a child who is pure at heart And does his homework neatly May become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms And the moon is full, completely." |

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

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. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/communities...t/default.mspx "Jure Sah" wrote in message ... David H.
