Hi, my Adobe Updater always fails to find an internet connection when I am at work. It is probably because I am behind a firewall and use a proxy server. Where can I update the settings within the updater so that it can get behind my firewall and proxy server?
Thanks, David

Thanks for the reply. That is a shame as I do most of my work behind the firewall and proxy server.

Thinking in broader terms - you can disable the automatic update mechanism if you have Admin rights on your workstation. Edit | Preferences --> General | Updates (panel) and select 'Do not automatically check for critical updates'Our corporate build has this disabled as I want to make sure all updates are tested in our environment before being deployed.
While not ideal, maybe an appropriate workaround.

This was successful for me as well, however, I am still getting prompts that Adobe Updater needs attention when no new updates are available to download.

All anti-virus have or a option to inform the proxy address or read it automatically from IE or do updates besides the proxy ( Mcafee Viruscan ) . I cant imagine why Adobe do not implement this. Do you need good programmers? Go to Brazil or India. There are lots there.
To get around this you need to manually download and install the patches.
