How to permanently remove (prevent reinstallation of) Outlook add-ins?

[DavidMichaelangelo]

As an example, I've removed Acrobat's "Send and Track" add in a DOZEN times now by going to File > Add-ins > COM Add-ins.

However, it keeps coming back!

How can I prevent it, and ideally any other add-ins, from being reinstalled?



I'm open to folder or registry hacks -- anything that will stop this monster in its tracks.

Yes, that's how to remove it, but how do I make sure they don't become installed again with the next Windows update?

They keep coming back!
