Where's the button to uninstall Adobe Reader?

Although v9.0 is pretty fast already, dealing with the constant security vulnerabilities is a pain. I wonder how many home users are using an old version of Adobe Reader and don't even know they have trojan's/rootkits like Alureon/H8SRT on their computers?

I think I'm going to be doing that anyway - our install of Adobe Acrobat CS3 interferes with the browser plugin for Adobe Reader, so now you can't view PDF documents inside a web browser. Hopefully using a different PDF viewer will fix thisproblem, or does anyone know if the utility above will sort out that issue too?

You realise you can do most of that using a transform file? There's also the adobe customization tool if you're not familiar with orca.
