Please note that Adobe Media Player is an application built on AIR, so AIR is required to install and use AMP. The uninstaller is actually located in the /Application/Utilities folder."

The uninstaller is actually located in the /Application/Utilities
folder.”

I did not have Adobe Air installed and when I installed AMP so Air had to be installed as well. After playing with AMP, and not being able to get any of the CSI stuff to play, I uninstalled AMP. There was no provision to uninstall Air. I went to the Adobe website and looked through their LiveDocs and they direct you to run the uninstaller located in my /Applications folder. As you can imagine, it is not there. I download the Air installer hoping to install AIR again along with the uninstaller, but it says my version is up to date and quits. Adobe does not provide a link to download the uninstaller. So what makes Adobe different from any other virus that I might pick-up. It it is hidden on my system, I can't uninstall it, and I don't know what it is doing in the back ground. Thankfully I have Little Snitch and have denied Air access to the Internet. I am through with Adobe and I hope it does not make it to my iPhone or my iPod Touch. My only complaint is that Adobe acts like a virus.
