Adobe AcroCEF (acrocef.exe) detected this .exe wants to connect to internet #6

Hi,
Sorry if I opened the issue in a wrong place, but I do not know where except here.
The software Adobe AcroCEF (acrocef.exe) is still accessing the internet and I detected it manually.
Full path is:
C:\program files\adobe\acrobat dc\acrobat\acrocef_1\acrocef.exe
Outbound rule for Adobe AcroCEF (acrocef.exe)
So if anyone know how to update the script patch that would be awesome.

    Hey @MGadAllah, thanks for flagging this. My guess is the old script was choking on the per-exe duplicate-rule check so the Adobe walk never actually finished, plus AcroCEF showing up in newer Acrobat installs after the last run. New PR #7 fixes that, walks %LOCALAPPDATA%\Adobe too, and adds an explicit AcroCEF / RdrCEF sweep. Will close this once it's merged.
