Disable Adobe Updater on macOS

To remove Adobe Updater, type these commands in a Terminal window:

cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl remove `basename com.adobe.ARM.* .plist`
launchctl remove `basename com.adobe.AAM.* .plist`
rm com.adobe.ARM.*
rm com.adobe.AAM.*

In some cases the updater is system wide. In that case, you will need to run “sudo su -” first and type in your own password to gain root privilege (the prompt changes from “$” to “#”) before they can be removed. Be careful the commands you enter as root, as a mistake can irreparably damage your system. 

cd /Library/LaunchAgents
sudo launchctl remove `basename com.adobe.ARM.* .plist`
sudo launchctl remove `basename com.adobe.AAM.* .plist`
sudo rm com.adobe.ARM.*
sudo rm com.adobe.AAM.*
