You must add all internet-connected progs except AV/suite, it may conflict with their own self protection feature.

malwarekiller. Seriosuly if you arent relying on Adobe for a special reason then ditch Acrobat to go for a better one like Sumatra OR Nitro PDF or Foxit Reader.

According to his security set-up, he's using Chrome which does have a built-in PDF viewer, maybe he needs it for advanced features such as Form-Filling.

Or it's for IE9?

is it ok to leave the EMET settings on default?

avast behaviour shield goes mad with pop-ups when my browsers are in EMET mode..is it ok to have avast trust my browsers and explorer.exe??

P.S.i already have COMODO defense+ running and monitoring my system.:cool:

Well I don't know, EMET can break a few programs if it's incompatible.

Change your Avast Behaviour settings, or add exclusions? I don't use Avast, so I cannot comment.

If you believe that the pop up from BB of Avast likely to be safe then just add to exclusion on a trusted application when set to "ask".

How valuable is this program and are there any conflicts with programs? I'm wondering if I should install it or not, my pc is running great so i'm a bit hesitant.
