Thanks for both the suggestion & the link. The only place I could find a
ticked update box was in application setup so I've unticked it there. I
wasn't actually starting Adobe reader when the update message flashed up so
wonder if its scheduled somewhere and if it happens again I'll consult the
adobeforum
