Why does crapware still exist?

Does anyone have the new Adobe Reader and how do you like it? I have stuck with 9 to avoid the bloat and it's being updated regularly so it seems secure. But I don't want to be unnecessarily stubborn.

Greg i know this is kind of late but i recently installed the reader on another rig or updated persay and it went through fine scan came up negative

I think Adobe is the safest you'll get at the moment and it works just as good as anything else

And now you see a reverse role for Java and Flash apparently! As for getting to the actual download amidst a ton of crudwares I've been running into that one for a long, long time now! I may have to go through several sites when not being filtered out just to find a clean one to download or to refer someone else to!

That's like trying to wade through the sewers in order to find one gold coin! You can get hit from all angles trying to figure which is what on too many sites. Then your system protection filters out the download pages as well when trying to get a certain download from different sites. You know those other pages are likely bugged!

Yeah I do use Adobe Reader and it's updates for v.9 are clean. But I was wondering if there are any advantages or drawbacks to moving up to v.11. I think of v.9 as the Slim Reader and apparently they and others do too since it's still supported.

well what i thought to be as safe is unsafe i just replyed on a thread about the reader zero i uninstalled it and went with nitro pdf im not sure as of why there is a security breech but im not taking any chances

Adobe Reader Zero Day

crazy just after i got it too
