    Backup and Restore


    Hello,
    Today, while opening a pdf file I got a popup message about an update to acrobat reader, I pushed the "yes"
    button and it started a long download and a long install, while the process running I managed to see some changes, even to the registry. When finished, I opened the pdf file again, I saw the new version (DC something) - it does not suit me. I searched and downloaded the acrobat reader
    11 "AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe" file just in case I have to reinstall it.

    Now here is my question:
    1) Uninstall the program using the "uninstall programs" and reinstall with the downloaded file, or
    2) Restore the system with a restore point made 3 days ago, I checked which programs will be affected,
    only this acrobat reader and one firefox update.
    Answer will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Restore would be the safer method. Uninstall is not always (or never) a total uninstall.

    Hello,
    Thanks WHS,
    Could not make a restore as you suggested, I tried twice (remembered to disable the antivirus) and got an
    error, attached screenshot. Then I used the uninstall option, made some manual 'cleaning' and reinstalled
    from the downloaded file, now it works.
    Later I will do some investigation, check the disk and look what is the error.
    If you have something to add, please do.
    Thanks
