This is my experience as well with Adobe CC. At least 10 different daemons, some of them instances of node.js constantly connecting to adobe-owned IPs. Some of them even using very high amounts of CPU. Turning everything off from the CC settings didn't even make a difference.

I don't want fucking software I paid for to make my PC a part of a botnet, so I deleted all their stuff and tried to cancel my subscription to CC. I couldn't do that because their terms allow them to charge your credit card for the remainder of the year, even if you receive no service. After a few angry emails with a supervisor they finally agreed to cancel my subscription.

What a shady POS company.
