When I was still on dial-up, this was a real pain in the backside as the download was close to 5MB then, So for me I saw little point in purchasing the Pro version only to disable auto updates. I used to download the updates once a week just before running an on-demand scan.
Once I got broadband I bought the Pro version for this system and then another for my win7 netbook.
I honestly can’t see the point in this for the free version as it doesn’t penalise those on broadband that much and I would say not much of an incentive to upgrade, that really has to be the resident protection not incremental updates.

Fully agree with David, the full download is just a pain and increase server usage. It’s not an incentive.

The resident protection is well worth the price!
I have not had dial-up since 2003!

Well lucky you, not everyone is fortunate enough to be in an area where broadband is available. I only fell into that lucky position about 15 months ago.
So it isn’t all that long ago I was on dial-up so I still understand the hassles they have to go through. I always consider them when attaching images, optimising/cropping them, etc. to make life easier for dial-up users, unfortunately many have forgotten those hassles and make such no considerations.
For me the price (a one of payment) wasn’t so much an issue, but on dial-up the resident protection accompanied with auto updates would have been a pain in the rear. With no incremental update a 5MB update took 15-20 minutes (@ 3 - 4 minutes per MB), so I saw zero point in the pro option paying for something I would effectively be unable to use.
In conclusion I don’t care for your smug comment about your not having had dial-up since 2003, it so sums up your general attitude.

I have 30 mb (speed) cable internet that has reached over 60
mb and at times slower than dial up.
I get angry about spending almost $50 a month when my
internet is as slow as dial up.
My point is sometimes Cox Cable reminds me of how slow dial
up is. 
OT: I wonder why ???
Edit: never mind I found it

Recommendation. The majority of customers have automatic updating enabled and will not need to take any action because this security update will be downloaded and installed automatically. Customers who have not enabled automatic updating need to check for updates and install this update manually.

Well said!
Although YoKenny has helped me on several occasions, and I am grateful for his contributions, I have to agree!

PDF-XChange Viewer v2.5.0200.0
Be aware of the Ask toolbar, etc. in the installation/update process (uncheck it as an option).

There is something wrong with this version. The installer hangs at the end when it says “Finishing Installation” and has to be shut down through the task manager. It did it when I used the Live Update and it did it after uninstallation, leftover folder deletion, registry cleanup, reboot and new install from scratch. I even tried turning off Avast and it still hangs. It seems to be installed but it didn’t do the file association or browser integration.

Installed fine here. Did you uninstall the previous version? Perhaps a clean install might help?

I just used the live update and that completed with success and the program is working as it should. File associations and context menu integration. I got lots of pop-ups during the live update/install from my firewall for changes (I have it set on high sensitivity); having initiated the live update from the PDF reader just before the end of the installation it said I had to close PFF-XChange (which I did).
I never allow PDF browser integration, the last thing I want to do is open a PDF file within the browser, I download and view off-line.

I said in my post that I tried everything. I just uninstalled and tried to install the previous version. The same thing happened. Then when I opened it I had to set the association and browser integration (which I definitely want). I tried to use the update from within the program and it downloaded and hung up again. It did not prompt to close the program down or anything. When I stopped it through task manager and opened the application, it said it was still on the older version. I then did the live update from the start menu and it redownloaded the new one, and hung at the end of installation again. I have no idea why this is happening now but it seems like the program is installed and working. I have notified Tracker of the problem.
