I've tried kill, kill -9, et. al on each of them, and they won't go away??? I haven't used Adobe Air in over a year, much less installed it?

I didn't remember installing it, but it appears I do have it installed, upon checking.

Code: Select all

adobeair-1.5.3-9130

The defunkt part is kind of a mystery though. Think I'll try an uninstall and see what happens then.

Found it in MCC and hit up to uninstall. The uninstallation went fine that way, but not knowing if it installed with the .bin or .rpm, I can't be sure that it's totally gone.

its possible that it installed during an update
at first that looked like an output of an airsnarf file from knoppix std.(a wireless sniffingtool)
