Adobe auto updater problem

I have been having a problem every so often with the adobe auto updater. I think it starts when an adobe program is opened. All of a sudden my computer will slow down to a crawl and when I go into the task manager all my cpu resources are used up and the auto updater is listed either 2 or 3 times and sucking all my power. End process won't work and the only way to get it to stop is to restart the computer. What gives and how do I get rid of it?
 
maybe you have anti-malware apps running that aren't compatible with this program. i don't know.

i'd suggest uninstalling adobe reader, download the latest ver, install it, and if the problem still happens then you could rename the update EXE to prevent it from running. You can probably find it in here C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5
 
also, is this computer running vista?

the only times i've recently had a process actually lock and unable to be killed (even by SYSTEM) was actually on vista RTM.
