Very good catch!
The only Adobe entry I could find in winpatrol's Start list was AdobeARM...

"Adobe Speed Launcher" shows as the 3rd item in your "winpatrol 7.jpg" screen capture. Maybe it doesn't last long in the list due to whatever bug it has. The directions in Dirhael's link should fix your problem.

And look at the command- I didn't pay enough attention. It appears to be a number. WinPatrol strikes again!

Dirhael, it's an outrageously good catch! Ever since I disabled AdobeARM, "Adobe Speed Launcher" isn't showing up, but I'll start looking for it.
Donation Coder does it again! :)
holt:
Every time I click on any .pdf file, WinPatrol immediately pops up with a random number string that is a mystery program it says is asking to be added to the Start menu; it's definitely Adobe-related. So I just click on 'reject' and it goes away and quits bugging me; but you have to disable the above-mentioned Adobe software -AdobeARM or Adobe Speed Launcher- from the Start menu to prevent it bugging you on a daily basis. Once again, many thanks to everyone who helped me so patiently, and especially to Dirhael.
tomos:
@holt, did you install the recommended patch?
