Removing Adobe Air

17 years ago

I ran Secunia on my XP& it marked Adobe Air (among so many more) as vulnerable. I removed it under uninstall reran Secunia and it still shows up. So I let it update went back and did another remove and its still showing up under the scan. I have no need for Air and don't want it. How the heck do I get rid of this?

Systems for building rich Internet applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, that can be run as desktop applications. On January 28, 2009, Adobe claimed that there were over 100 million installations of Adobe AIR worldwide, and that "the majority of AIR runtime installations occur at the time the first AIR application is installed by a user.The large number of installations is actually due to the fact that Adobe AIR was included with all downloaded installations of Adobe Reader 9 (released in July, 2008), with no option for exclusion either in the download or in the installation.

The version is 7.0.7 I went and looked on the web about the Window Installer had no idea what I should do. In the Control Panel its says I don,t use it often also installed 11/21/05 it must have come with the computer, also on top of the Adobe Reader I have Adobe Flash Player ActiveX but it shows no space taken up on the hard drive but the Reader has alot of space taken. Thank you for checking for me am open to any advice. Gillian.

grandms, I have no knowledge about your e-filing form (I am in the U.K.) but I presume that it would be in "standard" pdf format. I use the excellent, free and full featured PDF-XChange Viewer to work with and print pdfs because I absolutely refuse to have the intrusive and bloated Adobe Reader on my system. It's certainly worth a try - and I prefer it to Foxit PDF Reader that has been mentioned previously on this forum. Colin Here is a link that might be useful: PDF-XChange Viewer

Thanks Mikie, again! It is the same one I tried to install. It has their toolbar. Its almost impossible to get rid of it once installed. They have made it mandatory to take their seach toolbar with the free ZA. Probably even throw it in with the paid version. Last year you could install by clicking 'skip all offers' but even clicking it installs the search toolbar. I'm running Win XP and need a firewall. Jane

Try using Revo Uninstaller. If you do still have it, it will find it and you can uninstall completely.

"..... and it still shows up....."

Does it still appear in the Add/Remove utility?

Have you done a manual search of the Program Files Folder on the C:/ drive to see if it is indeed still there?

If you have CCleaner use its utility to determine if it is reported still apparent.

Have you done a START>Search to see what type of files if any are still in existence?

I am asking all this as it does happen on occasion that after an application has been removed the entry will still appear in the Add/Remove reports. CCleaner will remove any erroneous entry if it is determined to be so.
