   I have been using the FOXIT PDF Reader for some time now and liked it   
   until this last Update.   
      
   When I start FoxIt my software Firewall, Fort Knox, says FoxIt wants to   
   contact a amazon URL, I deny that one and another one shows up.   
      
   After I have denied a few of them to get past the Firewall I finally   
   will just drag the Firewall Popup over to the corner of the screen to   
   get it out of the way of what I was wanting to read, and I don't click   
   any more buttons, I just let it sit in its corner and move it if I want   
   to see what it is covering up.   
      
   I don't see the need for Amazon to know I am using the Free Foxit PDF   
   Reader.   
   I didn't go through Amazon to Buy it, I Updated/downloaded the Free   
   version directly from FoxIt's web site.   
      
   Long time ago I grabbed a free copy of Cool and Nitro but never used   
   them.   
   I looked at Nitro today and saw it was dated 2010, so I tried Cool and   
   learned I couldn't adjust how it starts up.   
      
   The Settings icon is renamed to Other Products and opens Firefox with a   
   advertisement to purchase a PRO version from them.   
      
   I was wanting to set it up so I didn't have to click a icon to see the   
   other pages in the PDF I was trying to read with it.   
      
   Are their any other Free PDF Readers than the three I've tried already?   
      
   ... It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere.
