I have been using the FOXIT PDF Reader for some time now and liked it
until this last Update.

When I start FoxIt my software Firewall, Fort Knox, says FoxIt wants to
contact a amazon URL, I deny that one and another one shows up.

After I have denied a few of them to get past the Firewall I finally
will just drag the Firewall Popup over to the corner of the screen to
get it out of the way of what I was wanting to read, and I don't click
any more buttons, I just let it sit in its corner and move it if I want
to see what it is covering up.

I don't see the need for Amazon to know I am using the Free Foxit PDF
Reader.
I didn't go through Amazon to Buy it, I Updated/downloaded the Free
version directly from FoxIt's web site.

Long time ago I grabbed a free copy of Cool and Nitro but never used
them.
I looked at Nitro today and saw it was dated 2010, so I tried Cool and
learned I couldn't adjust how it starts up.

The Settings icon is renamed to Other Products and opens Firefox with a
advertisement to purchase a PRO version from them.

I was wanting to set it up so I didn't have to click a icon to see the
other pages in the PDF I was trying to read with it.

Are their any other Free PDF Readers than the three I've tried already?

... It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere.
