Adobe CEF Helper [Anyone else noticed excessive memory usage from this service?]

Has anyone else noticed excessive memory usage from this service? I'm running macOS 10.12.5 on a MacBook Pro and tonight I noticed that it was using almost 16gb of ram which is clearly far too much. I ended up having to force it to quit and I just wondered if anyone else had noticed it?

    I have 4 instances of CEF helper running and I'm not running any Adobe Apps.  Consuming memory and CPU.

      I found 2 Adobe CEF Helpers on my Mac while the Activity Monitor.  One is using 121.9 MB of Memory and the other 63.4 MB.  I wonder if I can remove one of these.
