Adobe Acrobat Flurry of Warnings

I upgraded Acrobat to version 7. Now if I am in Windows Explorer and I select a PDF file, messages pop up saying the application has changed. The thing is I haven't attempted to open the PDF file so why am I getting any alert. Does just selecting a file cause something to happen in the background? I get warning messages even if I hover the mouse over a PDF file. This seems very strange.
So far I have chosen deny but ProcessGuard may throw up 3-4 warnings every time I brush a PDF file. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

After you upgraded Acrobat you should set PG to learning and uncheck Block new and changed applications.

 

Thanks very much, the advice was spot on. Warning messages have gone. Strange behaviour by Acrobat, though.

See the thread below. Acrobat has a precacher if you even hover over a PDF file in explorer. Your don't have to even click on it.

Sounds to me like I'll be using PG or OA to permantently block it. Take no prisoners, take no chances. Stop 'em NOW.

Thanks for the link.

Launching via mouseover in Explorer - I consider that virus-like behaviour. I've set ProcessGuard to permanently block acrord32info.exe. I might well write to Adobe and complain about it. This kind of behaviour should not be encouraged.
