Doesn't really matter

I care not where the uninstaller is. I have abandoned Adobe since ages ago. Nothing they make is of any interest to me anymore, and for PDF viewing and whatnot, there are free alternatives that beat Adobe to a pulp.
This undoubtedly DRM-infested, low-quality media thing has nothing to interest me enough to risk infecting my PC with Adobe stuff again - I have Star Trek on DVD anyway, the complete 3 box collection.
And all the films.

Adobe owns up

Adobe has responded to me and told me that their LiveDocs information was wrong, and since I have posted this comment on the first fifty news items I could find on Google, I think I should follow up with the information they sent me:

"Sorry for the trouble. Please note that Adobe Media Player is an
application built on AIR, so AIR is required to install and use AMP. 

The uninstaller is actually located in the /Application/Utilities
folder."

Adobe is Malware

My only complaint is that Adobe acts like a virus. 

I did not have Adobe Air installed and when I installed AMP so Air had to be installed as well.

After playing with AMP, and not being able to get any of the CSI stuff to play, I uninstalled AMP. There was no provision to uninstall Air.

I went to the Adobe website and looked through their LiveDocs and they direct you to run the uninstaller located in my /Applications folder. As you can imagine, it is not there.

I download the Air installer hoping to install AIR again along with the uninstaller, but it says my version is up to date and quits.

Adobe does not provide a link to download the uninstaller.

So what makes Adobe different from any other virus that I might pick-up. It it is hidden on my system, I can't uninstall it, and I don't know what it is doing in the back ground. Thankfully I have Little Snitch and have denied Air access to the Internet.

I am through with Adobe and I hope it does not make it to my iPhone or my iPod Touch.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
