Stand-alone Adobe Acrobat, Lightroom, and Photoshop Lite Hijacked by "Creative Cloud"

I have Adobe software under license, i.e., stand-alone versions that are purchased, not subscriptions or trial.

This includes Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, Lightroom 6_LS11, and Photoshop Lite (Adobe Photoshop CS6).

I made the big mistake of making a short trial of Adobe CC.

Since then:

1. My Lightroom 6_LS11 installation first 1) crashed, and needed to be re-installed after running Adobe Cleaner (at the suggestion of a Chat Room helper); then, 2) it was completely erased from the Program Files without any intervention from me.
2. Photoshop has been mis-behaving;
3. Adobe Acrobat IX insists on having "Adobe Applications Manager" running, which undoubtedly communicates with the Adobe Mothership via an internet connection, to be sure that I have paid my subscription fees. Otherwise, it will not work. It starts, and even displays a page, but then locks me out.

To be utterly clear:

• NONE of my Adobe software is 1) a trial, or 2) a subscription ------none of it is "CC". I have curtailed my "trial" of CC and Un Installed all the software, AND I have run the "AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool" at least 5 times now. It always insists that I have No CC items to clean up, whenever I choose Option 6 ("CC Only")
• I work at several locations without Internet connections. So the requirement for an Internet linkage to "authorize" me to use my wholly-owned Adobe products is NOT an option.

Any clues?
I really do feel that Adobe has put a spy-bot on my computer and is refusing to acknowledge it and remove it.
