This program is not required to start automatically as you can run it when you need to. It is advised that you disable this program so that it does not take up necessary resources. The following information is a brief description of what is known about this file. If you require further assistance for this file, feel free to ask about in the forums. Name: Adobe ARM Filename: AdobeARM.exe Command: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe" Description: Adobe Arm, otherwise known as Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager, is an autoupdate utility that notifies you, downloads, and installs new updates for these products. If you install these updates manually then you do not need this program to start up automatically. File Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe Startup Type: This startup entry is started automatically from a Run, RunOnce, RunServices, or RunServicesOnce entry in the registry. The right way to disable automatic updates in enterprise environment is to set bUpdater DWORD value to 0 in Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockdown for Reader 9x HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\FeatureLockdown for Acrobat 9x It appears to be a update/download manager for adobe reader 9.2 and launches at windows startup via the following registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Adobe ARM"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Adobe\\ARM\\1.0\\AdobeARM.exe\"" To prevent it from starting at windows startup you can safely delete this entry from the registry. If you change your mind and want it to startup again at windows startup just add the entry back to the registry. To easily add it back you can copy the registry entry above and paste it into notepad then save it as whatever.reg, next double click whatever.reg and you will get asked if you want to add this entry to the registry, click yes obviously. |
