Adobe is like the Micheal Moore of bloatware. I dinna go near it. It's like a stroke and a mudslide just waiting to happen.

I agree about Adobe being bloatware, would never use it myself.

However some folk do still use it, and this info is for them

The only Adobe product I use is Flash. Of course, Adobe really can't take credit for that fine product.

That's what I use too.

I use Foxit Reader too, but it's strange that the hpHosts hosts file blocks the foxitsoftware.com domain. Does anyone know why?

I don't use Foxit too,anymore.This and This useful article forced me to uninstalled Foxit.

Yes that's unfortunate but that dosn't stop me from using it as the toolbar uninstalls just fine.

The concerns about the Foxit installer may no longer be valid. The issue is currently being reviewed by the publisher of hpHosts. See here: http://forum.hosts-f...php?f=10&t=1746

I never install anything that doesn't allow me to un-click a toolbar option. My version of Foxit is a tad old, never ran into that problem with it.

The old english saying 'mountains out of mole hills' springs to mind. Or very bias reporting even from the screen shots its clear you do not have to install the toolbar. Also, once Foxit is installed it can be updated from within the GUI without any further reference to tool bars.
