I just installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0 from [adobe.com](http://adobe.com)

I got 2 unanticipated other installations: Adobe AIR and [Adobe.com](http://Adobe.com)

I don’t anticipate using these (unless someone wants to extol their virtues).

Can I uninstall them without causing problems for the Acrobat Reader? (Or is it like an iTunes-Quicktime type of thing?)
