Removing Adobe AIR properly from macOS

I have been doing a bunch of FortiGate deployments and finally decided to enroll my instance of FortiClient on my daily driver to my firewall at home.

Upon doing so, I did a vulnerability scan just out of interest.

The only issue identified was Adobe AIR.

Now, like most people, I haven’t been using Adobe Flash/AIR/Shockwave on my Mac for years; Chrome is a happy compromise if I really, really need to access a Flash-based site.

Removing Adobe AIR is a little more challenging.  A little bit of Googling around, and I found this article: Uninstalling Adobe AIR on Mac OS X

Either download the code, or copy and paste the line into Terminal on your Mac and hey presto: job done!
