Even after setting Little Snitch to deny AAM Updates Notifier, it's still chewing up the processor with incessant reading or writing. Some time ago, for some reason this Mac Pro (2010) suddenly stopped going to sleep through the normal method, so I've had to devolve to pressing the power button to put it to sleep.

AAM Updates Notifier.exe is an executable file that belongs to Adobe Acrobat, a group of software and web services created by Adobe, to create, view, modify and print files in the Portable Document Format (PDF). This process notifies the user through the system tray of available updates.

I try not to put the Mac to sleep in the middle of a read/write, though it's probably not a problem. I just don't like AAM UN! #$@#!
Do I write a shell script? Can I use Python? Using Python I could figure out a script easier. What I did just now is opened Activity Monitor and killed the process. Would I write a script to do that, or is there a more elegant way? (I'm sure there must be!)
Thanks for any help, I'm out of my depth here (obviously),

It seems the Adobe Update Notifier sometime autolaunches on startup, however I cannot find where it's launched from. I've checked in Lingon as well as my login startup items but it's not there.
Any idea where else it could be? The full process is:

The updater is registered with the system service launchd. Instructions to completely disable this can be found on The real way to disable Adobe Updater from your Mac OS X:
Open a Terminal window and type the following commands:
Note that depending on your version of Adobe programs, some of the above lines may generate errors. That's fine.
If the above does not disable it, you may need to remove it at a system level. You'd use the same commands as above, but with two additions/changes:

This is where the intrusive apps like Adobe often install things--and sometimes apps that are really trustworthy. It's not a bad idea to look through these folders now and then, to see what might have been installed.
There is also a LaunchAgents folder in your User library, where agents sometimes get installed that you can simply trash if especially not wanted.
It is never a good idea, however, to mess with anything in the System Library.

There is an additional thing that may be good to try with Adobe Manager: remove the Adobe Manager application from your Mac. After you do the steps below, you will receive a message that Adobe Manager is not installed in your computer when you start any Adobe software, but it will start normally. Please, find below the steps.
Find where Adobe manager is installed. When the Adobe Manager application is running, you can find its path location listing the processes of OS X. The command in terminal is ' ps aux | grep Adobe' . After this command you will see all Adobe processes that are running in your Mac.
Find the location of processes that have ' Adobe Manager ' in the line. Probably the files are in the folder called 'Utilities' or something similar. If you have Dreamweaver or another Adobe application opened, it will be in the list too but you choose only the ones that have 'Adobe Manager' in the line.
after it you have deleted the folders with Adobe Manager in the name. you can do it with Finder or in Terminal with the command ' sudo rm -R '
I hope it helps.
