Question

An Adobe Agent continued to regain access to my computer after I repeatedly told him not to.

So Premiere is broken. And somehow, even with footage due on Monday, that is the second most concerning thing involving Adobe that happened to me today.

Tarun Aneja has started accessing the customer's system information. <-The point at which I got scared and closed out the software and ran a virus scan.

So if there's a phone number I can call to see how we're going to handle this, I'm all ears.

Hey Matt, 

Sorry for the poor service and problems you are facing. If you have given an agent explicit instructions to stop screen sharing and that agent does not respond, then that is a problem. I will forward your complaint to the agent's manager. 

We can try and solve your issue here, if you like. Create a new post and let us know the issue and any details about your system and workflow.

 

Thanks,
Kevin Monahan

It's crazy quiet in this thread. Adobe never contacted me, for those who are curious. Using Adobe online support means opening your private computer up to COMPLETELY unmoderated, unchecked and probably unvetted people from other countries.

mattm11279863,

did you requested help through the Adobe Help Center​ or did you received an unsolicied private message from someone on the forums?

The reason why I ask is because there were numerous reports about people - pretending to be Adobe Staff - contacting other customers via private message. Usually, they ask for your Skype ID or that you send them your Adobe ID details to an email address.

(Pictured above: A helpful warning from Jeff A Wright)

Never give any of your personal information - be it your Skype ID or Adobe ID login credentials - to anyone

i appreciate the concern and I can assure you I’m not that kind of internet user.
