I've got the same problems with Adobe Reader 8.12. Over the last 2 weeks Adobe updater has generated over 3GB of traffic. The only Adobe software I've got installed is Adobe Reader 8.12, except for the Flash and Shockwave plugins for the web browser. WebMarshal reports:

So only during these 2 minutes it connected and downloaded something 8 times. And this goes on for another few hours on this particular day and newer dates as well. I've seen this behaviour on another computer as well. It's doing more download attempts but haven't done anything like my 3GB yet. Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem (except for turning off automatic updates, which I've done)?

Maybe you should contact Adobe; this is a user-to-user forum.

If you are using WebMarshal 6.1.5. or above, here's the workaround:
