Adobe Reader X 10.1.1 Update Trojan not being removed by full scan

[Creo]

Each day in the notification area I am getting a message to update my Adobe Reader, however I believe this is a Virus or Trojan as when I click the link it wants to download non-Adobe software. Have searched Google and it appears there is a Trojan. Ran Malwarebytes Full scan (fully up to date) and it detected 5 various Adobe components which I quarantined. It then rebooted the system, and I thought all solved. But today the notification pop-up has appeared, so I still have the problem. System is Win XP SP3 32bit.

I searched this forum but couldnt find anything related to this Trojan, also there isnt much on the Google hits, so I am at a loss what to do now. Help!.

Last time I followed the Malware removal instructions it took me weeks to get my PC back together having disabled so much of it. After having near destroyed my PC in the process I finally realised myself what the issue was having been told by the MWB expert my router was infected. I would only go through that process again as a last resort and we arent at last resort status yet.

Could someone please just look and see if there are any internal notes regarding an Adobe Reader Updater Virus/Trojan. IF I have it then what I am seeing from Google searches is that its quite old, 2009 era, so should be handled by the normal scan of Malwarebytes. Thank you.

I'm sorry Creo but that is the best option.

For anyone that may be interested ADOBE UPDATES are tracked by myself, daledoc1 and David (H. Lipman) in General Software Updates which is a sub-Forum of the Malwarebytes Forums→ Software Updates and Alerts forums... The posted ADOBE links are official and virus-free.
