MacBook Pro with Ventura 4.5.1 - an Adobe Acrobat notification regularly appears in centre of screen which I can delete but is there any way to stop repeatedly appearing. I am not running any Adobe utilities - Adobe Air installer & uninstaller in utilities file both have white cancellation signs over them. There are Adobe PDF Viewer.plugin & Adobe PDFviewer NPA plugin icons in plug in folder......can I safely delete these ?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.5
If you did not install any Adobe software, then I suspect those notifications are a scam.

Yes — the "prohibitory symbol" superimposed on the app icons means they cannot be used on that Mac, and are just occupying space — but I doubt removing those items will have any effect on those scam notifications.
To determine the cause of the annoyances I suggest that you download and run EtreCheck, and post its report in a reply to this Discussion. Instructions are here: How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report - Apple Community. Something is going on with that Mac and it probably has nothing to do with Adobe.

Generally, app nags are generated by the app itself.
My experience with Adobe is there is that setting within Adobe's customization utility.
As to what you may safely delete, I suggest you ask that in an Adobe user's forum.
