We usually recommend the free version of the app Malwarebytes to remove adware.

Try that first. Uninstall from the Help menu

https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

Afterwards, personally I used Easyfind to locate everything Adobe including hidden files and deleted the lot. I don't have any paid-for Adobe products though.

Pop ups generally are a problem but cleaning out all cookies from all browsers is a start.
