Adobe Acrobat 8.0 installer starts when I right click any program

adobe acrobat 8.0 installer starts when I right click any program.  When I hit 'cancel' it closes and goes on to whatever I am trying to access.

 I have adobe acrobat 8.0 already installed.  I have run Registry Mechanic and PC Ptistop but no luck.  I am running Windows XP SP2 with all updates.  I have Avast Pro and Prevx1 and Zone Alarm running.  Thanks

Uninstall Adobe Acrobat.  

Use Windows Installer cleanup utility to cleanup Acrobat.

Then use reinstall Adobe Acrobat.

Actually this could be easily fixed if you make the association of the Acrobat Reader with .pdf files  
Shift + Right Click on a pdf file, and always open with...Acrobat Reader, for some reason if you make the association the installer won't popup anymore.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
