Update: Adobe released Reader 10.0, and it's got a new security feature you're going to want. So never mind about updating Adobe Reader 9, just uninstall it and get Reader 10 instead.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/
and the smaller file is Reader alone, while the larger one also contains Adobe AIR
Saw this at Sunbelt's blog. Acrobat and Adobe Reader are getting out-of-cycle patches tomorrow to fix some vulnerabilities that are being exploited in the wild.
BTW, besides using the Update feature that comes with Reader or Acrobat, you can also get the full installers from Adobe's FTP site. For U.S. English Reader for Windows, for example, hit
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/
and you'll note there's two sizes of files. The smaller one is Reader alone, and I believe the larger one <editorial mode> crams AIR down your throat along with it </editorial>.
Tangentially, if you're taking an interest in patching Reader, then you probably already know about Secunia's PSI software check-up utility too, but just in case... http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/
