[dba-Tech] Adios Adobe?

I Adobe Reader because it's the standard. Turn off the auto updates and it
won't nag you. 

Apparently no one that uses other pdf readers is worried about pdf exploits
so why not? Every other pdf reader I've used also need updates because
nothing, it seems, is exploit proof. (I actually have an updater service
that checks on all of my MS and 3rd party products so I turn off all
auto-updaters.)

BTW Windows 8 has a PDF reader built in so you don't need anything
additional.

Adobe Acrobat has updates seems like 3x a week.  Why?  
 
Well, never mind - if it's security problems, I don't want it.  Anyway the
constant updates are getting real annoying.  
 
I have Nitro - seems to work well.  I'll make that my default pdf viewer for
a while and see if there's anything wrong wiht that.
 
Meantime, is there any reason why I should not uninstall Acrobat Reader?
Does anyone have a more preferred pdf viewer?
 
TIA
 
Rocky
