    I am not een sure how it was installed in the first place.

    Do I need it? Is it necessary for me to be able to use Flash?

    I don't have Acrobat on my system.

    I am getting a pop up every few hours on my computer.

    It says:

    "this application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the lastest version of the runtime from Adobe - Adobe AIR, or contact the application author for an updated version."



    Microsoft Fixit would not work either.

    Some solutions here: Troubleshoot AIR installation | Windows

    And you probably don't need it unless you are a web developer:

    "Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that enables web developers to use their existing web development skills, code and tools to build and deploy rich web applications and content to the desktop."

    I tried all those things in the link.

    What other program removal programs are there?

    If you did the usual google search for your problem and no results then email Adobe for help. It's their program and they should support it.

    PS: I used to live in HB. Nice city and great beach. Loved the weather there.

    Didn't work.

    Unreal.

    By the way. The PDF reader in Chrome is better than Adobe Acrobat.
