No it is not.  On Windows you can uninstall Foxit Cloud from the 
standard Windows Programs and Features in Control Panel.  I do it every 
time I update Foxit.

As I mentioned in an above post I tried that and I always do a download
and save. Then I do a virus scan and a Malware scan on everything I
download before I install. Well, I got twelve hits on MalwareBytes so I
did not go any further. And before you ask I did download it from Foxit.


PDF handling tools is a class of software where most of the non-Adobe 
alternatives are likely to be bundled with add-on software.  That 
doesn't mean that the tools are problematic, just that you have to be 
careful, with installation, to make sure that you opt out of all the 
stuff that's offered.


The one exception that I'm aware of is SumatraPDF, which is very small, 
but it doesn't offer a plugin option that allows you to call it from 
Seamonkey. And I have not yet found any free PDF writers (at least ones 
that are virtual printers) that don't bundle add-ons in their 
installers.  (The exceptions that I know about are tools that allow 
"save as" that include PDF as an option -- LibreOffice and the Opera 
browser).


I don't believe that Foxit makes use of the OpenCandy scanner (An 
installer with OpenCandy will scan your registry for what's installed, 
then call home, then offer another download, based on what it finds). 
That one is a privacy issue with the scanner. However, the downloads 
offered may be scummy.


With Malware scanners (especially the ones that are more than 
Anti-Virus), it's useful to pay attention to the results, of what is 
reported. Some scanners can be over-aggressive, not distinguishing 
something that's truly malicious from tools that offer Potentially 
Unwanted Software, or even tracking cookies. Each of those has issues, 
but they're of varying threat and severity. The problem with all-in-one 
security suites (or scanners such as MBAM or SuperAntiSpyware), is that 
they tend to cater to the people who consider security to be a yes/no 
thing -- "I just want install a tool that I can set and forget, and then 
I'll be secure!".


With Foxit, I haven't found significant issues with unwanted stuff. 
There has been annoyance with them installing some sort of Cloud tool, 
where it's uninstallable, but where there's no option of declining 
installation -- and it comes back with each upgrade installation. 
However, the last two or three times I've upgraded a machine that have 
Foxit, I haven't seen the Cloud tool available for uninstall, meaning 
it's either more closely bundled, or that they quit adding it.


I did run the most current installer through the scanner at 
VirusTotal.com, and 54 scanners (including MalwareBytes) all report 
negative -- no positives at all, not even by obscure scanners.


I should note that while I have no problem with recommending Foxit as a 
credible alternative to Adobe, the thing with the Cloud reader was what 
caused me to replace Foxit with PDFXChange Reader on my main working 
machine. To me, PDFX feels a little lighter and faster than Foxit, but I 
haven't really dug in that deep. However, PDFX does have bundled stuff, 
and you have to be careful on installation, to make sure you decline the 
extra junk. But once it's installed, I haven't found any problems.



BTW, I do owe you an apology, on version handling with Adobe. I 
indicated that 10.1.4 was the most current 10.x release, and as you've 
discovered, there's been several updates since (including one released 
today). 10.x is still supported, but one of the things that both 10.x 
and 11.x are now doing (since, apparently, they're not on Adobe's 
current development track), that updates have to be individually 
downloaded and applied.  I haven't seen Reader 10 in some time, but my 
experience with 11 is that if you use the Help -> check for updates 
tool, instead of installing the latest update to 11, you'll get a forced 
upgrade to the Continuous Track for Acrobat Reader DC.

 Paul, Thank you! I am now running on Adobe Reader Version 10.1.16 and
all is running the way it should be. I have set Adobe to check/update
manually only. I will run it this way until it ceases to work, maybe
by then Adobe will get there act together.

Thank you again to all that gave their input.

Why not installing Foxit-Reader ?

I don't recall it ever did. It's so normal that I habitually plop the
subject line in the body to run spell check on it.


I'm reasonably sure it did.
