You can tell Reader to not do updates......select

Do Not download or install updates automatically

in Edit/Preferences/Updater

Not sure if it still prompts you about them.

My systems all seem to default to this

Automatically download updates, but let me choose when to install them

The bigger issue is with Adobe Flash Player I think as there have been
several exploits of that. As long as you never go to websites you are
probably OK without that. Ha ha.
