I tried everything and I can't kill it. Anyone know how to kill it without me downloading lots of programs trying to kill it?

I highly recommend replacing Task Manager with Process Explorer:

I have had the same problem with Acrobat Reader. Not so much with the latest version. But I have never had a problem killing it with Process Explorer.

I have Process explorer. I can't even kill it with that.

Is there an instance of Internet Explorer or Firefox still running too? If so, kill that. The reader should go away then.

You could uninstall the Adobe stuff and use this.

I don't need to install it, I want to kill the process it left running.

delete any related link to acrobat in startup (msconfig).

Is there anyway you can post an image of all the processes?
