How to Uninstall an Adobe Reader in Silent Mode
When using an antivirus program on your computer, there is a feature called "silent mode." Silent mode is essentially the program running without launching update windows or scan applications, which is a nice option to have when performing a presentation or playing a video game. Outside of this, running a computer's antivirus software in silent mode is not going to prevent you from removing programs from the system hard drive, including Adobe Reader.
