Adobe

Is it just me or do any of you get update notifications from Adobe for their Adobe Reader every 15 minutes (or so it seems).

It really does seem like I get update notifications every week or so. What is with that??

We all do Chuck. The updates are quick, simple with no need to restart your computer

I think of these as a time bombs, one of these days , one of these updates will cripple you PC what do you do then? since when you did agree with the (unread in 99.99999999% of the cases) Term of use.. They assume, of course, no liability for the updates ...
Why so many updates? Really? I have permanently disabled the Adobe updates for my PCs...

I can't stand their updates either. The only people are worse are Sun/Java. They are so rude by sticking these apps in the background checking constantly.

That said, these are all due to security weaknesses. Sloppy code practices and lack of tools to find more of them in development leads to them. So in general, it is good to apply them once in a while.
