Adobe has switched on silent updating for its popular Reader PDF viewer, the company announced Tuesday.



From ComputerWorld:

"[We're] turning the automatic update option on by default for all Adobe Reader users on Windows," said Brad Arkin, senior director of product security and privacy at Adobe, in a post to a company blog yesterday.

The next time an update is detected by Reader, Adobe will present a dialog box asking users to allow silent updating. In the dialog, the box "Install updates automatically" will be checked by default.
