GeneralPUTOTD: Adobe updater. Pin

Possibly Useful Tip Of The Day:

I get truly pee-ed off with the Adobe updater bugging me for permission to download it each day. I was looking at another problem with a work colleague and we decided to set up a scheduled task for a daily report app I wrote. In the scheduled tasks list, I saw a task for the Adobe updater. I've deleted it and I wonder if that will once and for all stop them pestering me to update stuff I only use once in a blue moon? If you have similar issues maybe see if there's a task running on your machines. Previously, I always assumed it would be in the registry Run or RunOnce keys, but no, it isn't.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
