A side note: very frustrated with Google and Yahoo and their POS tool bars.

It is not obvious that you are installing them and when I accepted an upgrade to Acrobat, even though I specified that the Yahoo tool bar not be installed, it installed it anyway.

And then when I uninstalled the Yahoo tool bar, Acrobat wouldn't work. Had to revert back to a prior Acrobat version that didn't include the toolbar.

Now, only my password protected account has sys admin privileges so that no one else in my family can install software without me being involved.

Have you tried uninstalling the toolbar and running the virus scan again?

Yes, I did that but to no avail.

I will keep playing around with this.

Get rid of Acrobat. It's bloated and so...1990s.
Download and install the Foxit Reader.
It'll do everything that Acrobat will do and it does it faster and more efficiently with no additional crap to go with it.
