Thank you Derek. All my Adobe products are standalone. I have a CC free account, and have never downloaded anything from Adobe except "Bridge"--which is free. Oh, and I did update my perfect standalone CS6 using the Adobe site twice (no problems). I have no reason to doubt the seller I purchased CS6 from. Yes, I think I can still find a link to the seller, but I haven't visited that site for a very long time. I would be happy to put Adobe into contact with that seller, assuming I can find a link again. I think the issue is between the seller and Adobe, leaving me out of it. After all Adobe has not questioned the use of my CS6 for years now. Yes, I could abandon my perfect copy of CS6 and take Adobe up on its offer of a reduced price, I think, on the photography package (Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC, and 20 Gig of cloud storage). But, I already have a standalone Lightroom and all the cloud storage I need. So, Adobe's offer is not a very good deal for me especially since I am being deprived of a properly paid-for CS6 that has no problems whatsoever. Does Adobe really have the right to, in effect, invade my home, access my computer, and render a program unusable? Adobe has provided me no evidence that I can test to show to show the validity of their conclusion that my CS6 somehow is "bad." I think my rights likely are being violated. I certainly have the right not to be spammed by Adobe with malware for 30 days When a simple email would be adequate to get me to contact them when I get ready. You can't even close the malware when it appears. I have to move it far out of the way. Sometimes it disappears, but it always comes back.
