Yes, I can assume that, but what does it do? Or because it was running in the background without any adobe application open? It is the first time that I see it and from what I deduce it appeared after it was updated

I have Acrobat Reader but I don't use it, if I restart the computer the only process that appears is the Adobe Acrobat update service and sometimes AdobeARM.

if Adobe webinstalle reappears in your processes, disable adobe reader auto-updates to see if that stops it from reappearing on computer restart.

Ok, so I assume from this conversation that it's not a malicious process that was what I was worried about, it doesn't bother me that it appears I was worried about not knowing what it was, thanks for the help

Can you confirm for me, although I practically think I already know, that this process was not a virus and is something from Adobe?
