    How do I stop Adobe Updater from running on my daughter's account?

    Whenever my daughter logs into her account on Vista, the Adobe Updater wants
    to run. It can't because that requires elevated privileges, which she
    doesn't have. So the UAC always pops up on her and demands to elevate so
    that it can run the Adobe Updater. I want to stop the Adobe Updater from
    running on her account, but I don't know how.

    How do I do that?

    I couldn't find Updates under Preferences. Is it not a part of version
    8.1.1?

    Hello Rod,

    Go to HELP from the menu bar and choose Check for updates, after it you can
    close it or set the Preferences.

    Best regards

    Open your Abobe program found in the list of programs on your computer and
    in the Menus find the Options choice, or it could be called Preferences.
    Look at the list of tab and find one that gives you an Updater option and
    change it.
