I agree with what Harry has to say about it. I use Acrobat on a daily basis so I certainly don't have a problem with it. If you do, then all you need to do is get a good two way firewall (like Zone Alarm) so it can't phone home. I don't recommend that unless you faithfully manually check for updates (like that will happen) or you are running some program like Secunia PSI which checks for updates for you (a good idea even if you do let Adobe "phone home").
