Set the DWORD value bHidden in these Registry keys to 1 to hide this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cWebSearchView\cPositions\cInternal

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cWebSearchView\cPositions\cExternal

I never played much with the Adobe features before 7.0, but there are
a number of useful settings I have discovered both through reverse
engineering the changes and also research at:

<http://www.appdeploy.com/>

which is quite handy for people who are trying to configure software.
