Adobe Acrobat Reader DC not recognized by Avast Software Updater

Hi folks! My previous version of Adobe Reader was 11.0.10. I checked for updates via Adobe Reader and it said up-to-date. I then went to the Adobe Reader website and found out that there is a new upgrade for Adobe Reader and it’s Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (2015.007.20033). I then uninstalled my previous version of Adobe Reader via add/remove and installed the new version. My Avast Free 2015.10.2.2215 software updater doesn’t recognize this new Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, because it is not in the avast software updater list. Can this be fixed? My operating system is Windows 7 SP1 (fully updated) and I am using Windows Firewall. Thanks.
