GENUINE FIX FOR ADOBE CS3 ADOBEUPDATER.EXE/READER 8
For all those who are still experiencing the CPU freeze/100% CPU drain when using Reader 8.1 or CS3 products. I’ve read various ways of fixing this – none of which worked for me except the way listed below.
Reader 8.0/8.1
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader8.0\Reader
Find AdobeUpdater.dll
Change name to AdobeUpdater.dll.PROBLEM which should fix the problem. This will mean that the update function no longer works but as Adobe have taken the Microsoft approach to business then I’m personally not that bothered.
CS3 Products
Once you have installed navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe
Navigate in and out of the folders installed by CS3 and locate AdobeUpdater.dll in each (Note: Illustrator CS3’s is in Support Files\Content\Windows
Change each of these to AdobeUpdater.dll.PROBLEM. Again the update function will no longer work but what’s the alternative? – Paying £1200 for software that freezes your pc everytime you use it?
