How to get rid of Adobe update icon?

I have a failed update (program is already updated, the Adobe updater downloaded the update again, and put an icon in the lower right... Win7 computer)
Since the update of course will not install, the stupid icon won't go away
Anyone know how I can get rid of the icon?

This article describes how to prevent Windows Messenger from running. By default, Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition install Windows Messenger. The user interface does not let you remove or uninstall Windows Messenger.
When you install Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows adds a new feature that is named "Set Program Access and Defaults" to the Add or Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. You can use this feature to remove Windows Messenger from the Start menu, from the desktop, or from other locations. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 332003  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/332003/ ) How to change your default programs and to enable or remove access to Microsoft Windows and non-Microsoft programs
Windows Messenger 4.0 or later versions on a Windows XP Professional-based computer
Use the Group Policy (gpedit.msc) snap-in to turn on the Do not allow Windows Messenger to be run option.
Notes
·         To use the Group Policy snap-in, you must be logged on to the computer using an account that has administrator permissions.
·         This method prevents programs that use the Messenger APIs from using Windows Messenger. Microsoft Outlook 2002, Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the Remote Assistance feature in Windows XP are examples of programs that use these APIs and that depend on Windows Messenger.
To turn on the Do not allow Windows Messenger to be run option, follow these steps:
1.     Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.
2.     In Group Policy, expand Local Computer Policy, expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then expand Windows Messenger.
3.     Double-click Do not allow Windows Messenger to be run, and then click Enabled.
4.     Click OK.
5.     On the File menu, click Exit to quit the Group Policy snap-in.
If you use Outlook Express - To prevent Windows Messenger from starting automatically, follow these steps:
Outlook Express
1.     On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
2.     Click to clear the Automatically log on to Windows Messenger check box, and then click OK

    You don't, unless you disable the Camera app entirely.
    It's such a nuisance...
    Really, how so?
    I don't want people going into my photos or my iphone!!
    If you add a passcode to your iPhone as you should, then there's no way they can see anything in your iPhone.  Of course, if the passcode is set but not enough time has elapsed that's different -- but that has nothing to do with this icon.

  • How do I remove the Adobe updater icon from the menu bar?

    How can I remove the Adobe Updater icon from the menu bar? It's pixelated and looks broken. Any help is appreciated.
    I found this thread, but it doesn't work. When I click on the Updater icon, then click "Open updater," it opens the Creative Cloud instead. I haven't found a way to remove the updater icon from within Creative cloud.

    ^^ Doesn't work
    Anyone know how to remove it?
    Thanks!

    Found it, thanks to later posts in that thread I mentioned in the OP. Here is what they suggest (you have to use Photoshop):
    1. In Photoshop, go to Help >Updates:
    2. Click "Preferences" at the bottom right.
    3. Uncheck the box labeled "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar." Then click "Ok."
    Hope that helps anyone!

  • How to get rid of Adobe Reader on my OSX 10.9.5

    I have a Mac mini, using OSX 10.9.5 and was forced to download Adobe Reader by Public Works, government of Canada, in order to print their document.  For starters this is SO wrong.
    When I completed the download, Adobe Reader wanted me to approve it replacing my Preview, which I didn't want to do, so I answered NO. 
    Now I can't get into the damnable Adobe Reader to get rid of it. 
    Can you please let me know how to get rid of ALL of Adobe Reader from the download?
    Thanks in advance for your anticipated help.

    Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
    Look for these two files.

    AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    Right click on those and select “Move To Trash”.

  • How to get rid of Adobe Watermark in Premiere 9 after purchase?

    I downloaded the trial of Premiere Elements 9 and
    began editing a project.  Then I made the purchase frm Amazon and installed the serial number in the trial version.  I can't get rid of the Adobe watermark on the transitions.  Even clearing the transition and inserting the same one or another transition, it still caries the watermark.  How do I get rid of it?
    Thanks.

    Hello, John. Premiere Elements has its own forum and you'll usually get better answers to PRE questions there, since not that many people here use PRE:

  • Auto Response emails: How to get rid of Adobe Forms Central Banner

    Please if someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated.
    So my company uses these forms ( a total of 10) for different purposes when getting new resellers for our manufacturers. With a few of these forms our manufacturers want a copy of the new applications sent to them
    We have created them accounts and they recieve notifications by email just as we do. The only issue is we wish to get rid of the banner on top that says "Adobe Forms Central". The issue is we do not want our manufacturers to see we are using an outside source, no matter how well it works.
    Please if anyone has experience with this let me know. I am attaching a screen shot of the banner in case I am not using the propper term.
    Thanks in advance..

    Sorry, there currently isn't anyway to get rid of the branding in the email notifications.

  • How to get rid of adobe Pop up

    Hi,
    Hope some one can help. How can I get rid of a adobe popup in
    the middle of my screen?
    When running the tutorials theres a adobe 'project created
    by' pop up in the middle of the screen. It's actually there right
    from the beginning. I've also created a simple movie and get the
    same thing when I publish it as export html. The pop up doesn't
    appear in the previews. Clicking on the X on the top right corner
    of the pop up doesn't work.
    Kind regards,
    Arfar

    Hi ArfarC and welcome to our community
    Are you maybe using the trial version? If so, maybe it's
    something in the trial version. If you have the full version, you
    may be referring to the preloader. Click Edit > Preferences...
    > Project node > Start and End node. There you may either
    DE-select the Loading Screen or choose one you like better.
    Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

  • How to get rid of dupe music icons on iPhone, one with cloud, one without?

    After getting a replacement iPhone, restoring from backup, and re-syncing, I have dupe entries for every song on the phone.  One has a cloud icon and one doesn't.  These weren't there before!  What happened, and how can I get rid of all these dupes (there are thousands)?
    -- I don't see dupes in my library, nor on my iPad, nor in "On This iPhone" from iTunes... just on the phone itself. 
    -- The dupes exist even after syncing.
    -- I tried deleting all music storage on the phone and re-syncing, but I still wind up with dupes, one with the cloud and one without.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    unsync the music from the phone. the songs with clouds are 'itunes in the cloud' which you download from the cloud server
    the reason you don't see them in 'on this iphone' is that they're not technically on the phone nor are they taking up capacity yet
    when you unsync your music, the songs with clouds should remain. you download them by tapping the clouds

  • How to get rid of adobe popups that say adobe wants permission

    How do I remove the adobe popups that ask me to decline or accept adding something to my system?  I can't watch any news videos or online movies.  Does anyone know how to remove them.  Neither of the buttons work.

    Go directly to Adobe and update your version of Flash:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html  Do not use the popup windows from other websites as they may be phishing for personal information.

  • How to get rid of Adobe Creative Cloud?

    Woke up to an upgrade of adobe application manager without an option to leave as is and now I have something called adobe creative cloud which I don't want.  How do I reverse the upgrade and re-install adobe application manager?  I don't like the cloud or anything to do with it. 

    You can create a folder named "SCUMSOFTSUCKERS" and place those two icons in that folder and continue enjoying the use of your PlayBook while knowing each day you have corralled them into a corner at least in one man's own little world.
    Or hide that folder icon over on a far panel and never even have to look at it.
    But if you do toss your PlayBook in the bin, let me know... I'd be happy to pass it along to a local less-than-priviledged child or even ship to a soldier serving overseas... might could use to communicate back home.
    Good luck.

  • How to get rid of this update and restore previous surface

    Dont like the new surface . I want to restore the look of my previuos firefox page.

    There are few differences between Firefox35 and the earlier Fx34. What is it that you are noticing and trying to change.
    I would strongly advise against downgrading Firefox to an unsafe insecure and unsupported old version.
    *[[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    Once security holes are fixed the fix is publicised and that may be exploited on old versions.
    Perhaps a screenshot will help

    Was it removed using the "Application Manager" tool, which supposedly does a clean remove ?
    Try hooking your phone to a PC with USB as a mass storage device, and try to locate files (including icons) that may have been left on the card (possibly in a directory that was created by the application you removed).
