Sometimes my PC is running crazy while I'm e.g. just typing text. APDPROXY.EXE takes all the processor time then, while I don't even know whith what application the Adobe program came into my computer...

The original apdproxy.exe is most likely essential for Adobe Photo. But it may also be a malware camouflaged as apdproxy.exe. I had CyberDefender on my computer (which turned out to be a major problem) and the apdproxy.exe was using all my computer usage, when I removed CyberDefender I haven't had any more problems with it. SpyBot S & D said that CyberDefender is Spyware, but I didn't believe them because I thought it was a great program and I was currently using it. If you have CyberDefender, try removing it first and see it the problem clears up.

Is a nuisance, rather use Explorer. Believe a backdoor Trojan uses it - high CPU in background.

To dissable Adobe Album Starter from automatically loading in the system tray, delete the Adobe Album Starter value from this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ (For those comfortable editing the Windows Registry.)

I found this program to be slow and a memory hog. You only seem to need it if you have no other way to transfer pictures from your camera to computer.

Downloader for Adobe Photoshop. Can be disabled. Not in preferences options what should normally be but manually. Look in the link on www.adobe.com to see how.
