If you used the `advanced' installer, you may have accidentally set
`Change file associations' set to `All' instead of `Only new'. Even
so, Acrobat should still be available via right-clicking and `Open

The package name for PS_View is tlpsv.win32 if you want to remove it
with tlmgr. Of course, this is not particularly obvious.
