type in Terminal and hit Enter:
sudo pico /etc/hosts
...now paste the list at the end (use the arrow keys to navigate),
hit ctrl+O then confirm save with Enter
exit with ctrl+X
note: you can delete any previous entry you had here with 'adobe' in name
step 4)
copy-paste in Terminal and hit Enter - we are killing all background Adobe processes
sudo pkill -9 -f Adobe
step 5)
run in Terminal:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
if you have Mohave, then use this instead:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder;sudo killall mDNSResponderHelper;sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
step 6)
delete these folders and everything inside. copy+paste in Terminal and hit Enter:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Creative\ Cloud/Utils/AdobeGenuineValidator
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Genuine\ Service
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe\ Desktop\ Common/AdobeGenuineClient
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/AdobeGCClient
Empty the Trash.
step 7)
order a tatoo above your heart: Don Tomato 😅
and celebrate with Jägermeister
note: if you are still getting these messages, then you migh have one more copy of Genuine client somewhere.
in this case install Find Any File,
- grant Full Dick Access
- search for 'genuine'
- inspect the results and delete those that appear to be an adobe component.
- report back here the full path of that file
