Acrobat

What is it about Adobe Acrobat that it must take over my whole computer when it does anything? 

I'm converting some Word docs (Faculty CVs) into PDF format, so I'm using the little add on toolbar dealie in Word. 

The Acrobat progress bar pops up, the Word doc comes to front, whatever else I'm doing is pushed to back.

It has the feel, overall, of a scary pop up from a not so very nice part of the web.
