Win 7 PC – Adobe Reader X keeps uninstalling itself on Tue & Fri

I support 340 PCs. I have one in particular that is giving me problems with Adobe Reader X. On Tuesday and Friday mornings it uninstalls itself. There are no GPOs involved here. Adobe Reader X is installed manually. If anyone can shed light on this please let me know.

  A google on ‘Adobe Reader X issues’ yields 4.9 MILLION hits
  
  The ‘program removed itself’ issue is a known problem, but have not found a fix, other than the snarky forum posts advising others to use Foxit or similar program.

    I agree, that’s the best feature Adobe ever added to the reader. Now if only it would take the crapware it installed with it.
