* * * How to turn off the dozens of Adobe background processes running on MY computer?? * * *

[BrotherJohn]

I want a way to turn off ALL of the Adobe processes running on my computer.  I know that such a feature is well within the ability of Adobe's developers.

When I purchased Adobe I did not realize that I was consenting to Adobe running two dozen background processes on my computer --even when I'm not running any of their products. The processes are bullet-proof and cannot be killed.

Hey Adobe, you know that privacy policy thing of yours? Well I've got one of my own, namely: I am in command of my computer.

When the NSA persuades vendors to back-door their products for the NSA and law enforcement, Adobe will (I bet) eagerly comply.
