Back in November 2014, I uploaded a piece of abandonware to Mega. 4 days later I got a copyright notice for the link. Naturally, it was Adobe Acrobat 3.0b1.

This post was just to show how illegal abandonware can be. But I don't think Adobe would care about an old piece of software, however just to take it safe I have no plans to re-upload it nor post it here as abandonware is outside this forum's scope. What do you think. Did I deserve it or is it a false claim?
People who use Norton Antivirus should shame themselves for being so poor and unable to afford a real antivirus. It keeps recognizing everything as Suspicious.Cloud and WS.Reputation.1. Just use MSE or better.
