The exploits are something in JBIG2. It counts 29 entries in the online pdf exploit scanner utilities I used.

VirusTotal said the file was clean on all measures.

I have noticed blocked attempts at contacting .adobelogin.com, data.adobe.io and armmf.adobe.com on my PiHole.

Windows defender picks up nothing. Malwarebytes picks up nothing.

It has stopped me from accessing Adobe servers, unless I use a VPN. I cannot open Acrobat.

There is nothing useful online about removal.

I have an image of my machine that I can restore from. This is using Paragaon data recovery pro.

I have used system restore and the issue persists.

I have restored from an image from weeks ago. The issue persists.

I have attached a snapshot of my PiHole blocking.

I cannot open Adobe creative essentials nor acrobat etc unless I use a VPN. I cannot even access adobe on the web.

Thank you for any input. Please, please help - I do not want to reinstall Windows on the 2 machines it executed on.
