Adobe Reader Updates, Evil — Same Thing

Until today I’d never installed a single Adobe Reader update. I’ve been prompted many times over the years but I avoided it because I was somehow sure that it would be annoying.
Today my fears were justified. I decided to go ahead and do it and was soon prompted to reboot my system. Bastards.
But that’s not the bad part. I begrudgingly rebooted and went to lunch. When I got back and logged in, I was immediately presented with a friendly dialogue box from Adobe. It told me I needed to reboot to finish the install of the Adobe Reader update.
