How do you get Acrobat reader for your new hard disk? I would prefer a
lower than current version since the current version takes very long
to load. Is it advisable and possible to copy it from the old disk
which is badly infected with ad- and spyware without transferring the
ad- and spywase to the new disk on which I have Nortons internet
security?

You can get an older version of the program here:

Thank you, anotherbrian-ga, very much. It works.
