OTL then click the
Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTL wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click
Yes. This will do some clean up tasks and delete some of the tools you have downloaded plus itself.
I suggest you keep
MBAM. Keep it updated and use it regularly.
Updates or upgrades You have an older version of
Adobe Reader. You can download the current version
HEREYou may want to consider
Foxit Reader instead. It may be a bit lighter on resources. If you choose to install FoxIt reader
decline the FoxIt tool bar offered during the install.
Visit their support forum
Foxit ForumIn either case you should uninstall
Adobe Reader 9.5.1
first. Be sure to move any PDF documents to another folder first though.
