I know this is the wrong forum, but… (Mac question)

I know this is the wrong forum, but…

Can anyone enlighten me?

How did a folder named just "Adobe", containing only something called "Acrobat.com.app"), end up in my root Applications folder?

Double clicking on "Acrobat.com.app" launches an installer that wants to install something called "AIR".  What is that and what is it needed for?

What forum should I be posting this in?

A global search and searches in the Acrobat Macintosh forum were not helpful.

Can I just delete that Adobe folder or ignore it?  It has identical Creation and Modified dates of January 15, 2010 17:56, which raises more questions than it answers.

Any input will be appreciated.

    I recommend Wikipedia as a source of an easily understandable overview about what any product or technology is or does.  In the case of AIR:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_air

    It is bad terminology.

    Acrobat.com and Photoshop.com are Internet-based applications, not to be confused with Acrobat and Photoshop installed on the user's machine.

    Ask about Acrobat.com.app in the Acrobat.com forums.
