Adobe request

I've received a request/instruction from Adobe to uninstall their program because it is no longer supported on my Mac. Is this a valid request?

If it was about Flash Player, see the following instructions rather than risk using a link in the request if you are not sure: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html

I'm not sure what it would hurt but see the following advice from Adobe in https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html


Since Adobe no longer supports Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems.

Flash Player may remain on your system unless you uninstall it. Uninstalling Flash Player will help secure your system since Adobe will not issue Flash Player updates or security patches after the EOL Date. Adobe blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021 and the major browser vendors have disabled and will continue to disable Flash Player from running after the EOL Date.
