The updater is built in the main program. If you don’t want your program to be automatically updated, you can turn it off by using one of the methods below.
1. Use Preferences. Open Foxit Reader/PhantomPDF, go to File menu, click Preferences, find Updater, check the option Do not download or install updates automatically.
2. Use Registry. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit ProductName\plugins\Updater, set the value for UpdateMode to Zero.
3. Use GPO. See this topic for details.
