Part of Adobe License Management, hence the filename adobelm. It's NOT DANGEROUS. If you have trojans, etc. it's from downloading an illegal version. Don't do that and you won't have a problem. If you have huge memory usage or leaks, it's either a poorly-coded copy protection crack or because PS just needs that much. I hate the LM service, but it's not a bug or a virus.

It slows down the computer. Tries to connect to the internet. Without a firewall it will propably connect to Adobe and tell them if you have any pirate copys of their products. DANGEROUS for pirates! Block this with a firewall.

Its a license activation checker for adobe products but it has a serious flaw that leaks critical areas of memory and steals system resources until your PC either crashes or becomes seriously unstable. I renamed mine, then deleted it. It came with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free version) so why its there I know not, since the FREE version of Acrobat does not need to phone home for licencing checks since the darn thing is free. If you really want trouble-free PDF viewing, creating & distributing, use FoxIt ( www.FoxItSoftware.com ) I just switched to it since FoxIt PDF uses a fraction of the RAM.

Stop the process "adobelmsvc.exe" (it won't hurt anything) and it will stop generating "Adobelm_Cleanup.0001" processes. You have to do it every time you start a CS2 product but it works.

Part of Adobe Licensemanager. Decreases performance significantly. In case you are online gaming disable it.

Can cause lack of response in Adobe products, not a security threat and can usually be terminated safely through Windows Task Manager.

It's safe. Part of adobe suite. Used to verify license activation of adobe products.

installed itself after online updates. My fix: in safe mode, rename adobelmsvc.exe

For me, it occurs when an adobe document loads from internet explorer. However, when i close ie, Adobelm_Cleanup.0001 stills remains in memory along with 3 other adobe items. I think it is some sort of memory leak so and happens every so often. I just close it in process explorer and it goes away.

Well the only thing it does for me is slow down PSCS2 big time.

It slows down my adobe apps. As soon as I end the task the program speeds up or unfreezes.
