I disabled all fonts sync, updates, notifications etc in adobe creative cloud. still 13 processes running accoring to Activity monitor. I even purchased an app to disable startup, but still Adobe is running in the background without using any Adobe app as many Adobe processes I kill a few others appears within minutes, and it's becoming more like a virus than graphic design software. Why? I am paying $600 a year. I don't want any sync, or fonts or any automatic updates. I belive I have the right to open the app whenever I needed and not use it whenever I don't need it. But it seems the other way and Adobe takes control of my computer and use the resources whenever desires which is almost always. I need some answer or I have to take legal action because I feel Adobe is not respecting my privacy and using my computer and network for its own interest.

You can killall the proccesess at startup

#!/bin/bash

# Find the PIDs of processes containing "adobe" or "creative cloud" in their name (case-insensitive)
pids=$(ps axo pid,command | grep -Ei "(adobe|creative cloud)" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}')

# Kill the processes using their PIDs
if [ -n "$pids" ]; then
  echo "Killing processes:"
  echo "$pids"
  kill -9 $pids
else
  echo "No processes found"
fi
