AcroRd32.exe showing up in behavior shield.
« on: February 19, 2012, 04:08:38 AM »
Whenever I start Adobe Reader, it opens two AcroRd32.exe start up, they close automatically after I close the program but Avast calls one of them suspicious under the behavior shield.

Should I be worried?

Does this mean it's probably nothing, because I can't find any other AcroRd32.exe on my system so that is the only one I could scan and I scanned the one that is being called suspicious by the shield.

Should I assume it's not a threat?
