don't want creative cloud - don't like it at all

[ChoirBoy]

is there anyway that I can NOT install creative cloud on my machine? I absolutely abhore it!! it uses so much memory and pretends to give you start up options but when you select don't start on start up, it ignores you and starts it up anyway!! It's been causing so many issues on my machine that magically disappear when I 'end task' on creative cloud  - oh, and not the first time, it pops up again a few times, clearly thinking that I'm not serious.

Anyone?

Not that I know of BUT you do not have to let it start with your system and you can shut down all Auto Updating features, option, for it and all Adobe software that you install from it.

There is no need for it to be running to actually use the other Adobe sodftware you need.
