ENWorld & Adobe?!?

[BlueBlackRed]

Why is it that everytime I come to ENWorld, my PC turns on Adobe (I'm guessing Acrobat)?

It's kind of irritating when my PC slows/stops each time.
But it doesn't happen on my work PC (prior to having ENWorld blocked anyway).
So what is it about my home PC that causes this?

The Adobe Acrobat should only load if you currently loading a PDF.

There's also a Adobe pre-loader file (runs in the background), but that's unrelated to EnWorld or the Internet at all.

When I have a page of ENWorld already open, it doesn't load.
But when I open the first page of ENWorld, it pauses to load Acrobat.

That's just weird.

I'd recommend checking the settings in Acrobat. I can't think of how it could be a problem with EN World itself. What happens if you open Acrobat first, and then go to EN World?

Hmm...don't know.
Was hoping there was an easy solution & I wasn't the 1st.

I wonder if its related to something I just saw on my machine. I recently updated to IE 7 while trying to stamp out a bad rash of Arabic on my system. Now when I come to Enworld (any page it seems) Im constantly given the message up at the top of my browser window

"This website wants to run the following add-on: 'SVG Viewer 3.02 for Netscape' from 'Adobe Systems Inc. (unverified publisher)'. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here...

So far Ive been ignoring it, but it DOES make me wonder. I didnt see any reference to it when I searched the forums for "SVG Viewer"

I've noted this too under IE 7 for Vista. It's annoying the hell out of me, but I haven't been annoyed enough to hunt down the line of code responsible - yet

Problems have been reported with IE7 hitting sites with adsense on it (googles advertising?), and also any occasion where files of type svg-xml were being served.

It doesn't sound as if that is likely with ENworld, but there are clearly some consistent problems with IE7 wanting to install or run some funny stuff when it hits web pages.

What version of browser are you using, BlueBlackRed?

This isn't a new issue for me.
It's been happening for a few months now.
IE version 6.0.2900....
