Remove Adobe Update Manager from Adobe CS5 suite

If you have installed Adobe's CS5 Suite, it is likely that you have had the unpleasant surprise that disabling Adobe's automatic updater It is not exactly an easy task, since it starts with the computer and does not give us any advantage.

In CS3 and CS4 it was easy to do this by creating a plist file, but in CS5 there is a simpler and faster way which I have discovered with the instinct that anyone would have: find the file that the process uses and rename it.

The simple process: search your hard drive for the application "AAM Updates Notifier" and rename or delete it, as well as the "aamlauncher" in the same folder to make sure. Mano de santo, but make a backup beforehand!

    It is easier than all that, in the adobe update manager we go to preferences, we deselect all the options and applications, we give it to finish and that's it! without erasing anything .. easy, fast and for the whole family

    Let's see ... if we update it and the suite was installed with medicine, does it suffer any strange behavior or stop working? I mean, I don't think the updates are bad.

    Hello!!! One question! I already eliminated the AAM but when I open the illustrator or any other program I get that I need the AAM and a link to download it, it does let me work but I don't know if that will affect the future and I am worried that it will notify adobe. Please can you answer me ???

    Knowing which is the process that performs it, «AAM Updates Notifier», it is not necessary, neither delete nor rename it, you only have to remove the exit permission in the Windows 7 Firewall itself (In the advanced options -> exit rules - > New rule ……
