Could the forced "Updates" be disabled.
We are supporting a real time product that needs only the Acrobat Reader DC as one of its components.
No new "cool features" and "enhancements" like "collaborations" are required.
Adobe updates were turned OFF and no problems.
Then Adobe hacked each of the installations with its "updates".
We cannot replace the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
1) How to block/remove "collaboration" and the Adobe Acrobat Reader "updates" for ever?
2) If hacking someone's System considered to be unethical and illegal - why ignoring the "No Update" option and forcefully pushing the undesired updates is ethical ?

You might be able to block updates with a firewall rule and/or custom DNS settings, if you can figure out the URL and/or IP address the software uses to check for updates.
