Go to AppDeploy.com

Use the 'Package KB' that you'll find there. The subject has been done to death in the forums there, too, as people seem to be congenitally unable to use 'Search'.

Don't know why 'x' happened? Want to know why 'y' happened? Use ProcMon and it will tell you.
Think about using http://www.google.com before posting.

Get Adobe Tuner

Adobe provide a tool to configure the Reader installation and this tool gives you a graphical interface to set all the different options through several pages of settings, The output is a transform.
As VBScab has mentioned, this topic has been done to death over the past few years, so a few minutes with a search engine will get you a detailed answer to your question.

If your issue has been solved, please use the "Mark as Solution" link on the most relevant thread.

Add following registry

Add following registry Entries

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\ FeatureLockdown]
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\ FeatureLockdown]
"bPurchaseAcro"=dword:00000000

this will disable auto update.

As VBSCab mentioned you can refer appdeploy KB here is the quick reference

Thanks,
