"New adobe software will send your name and serial number to adobe. This includes photoshop 6 and 7, and illustrator 9 and 10. This can be disabled though. First Make sure to physically disconnect your computer from any internet connection during the installation of any new adobe software. Once the software is installed do the following:
Locate any files named AOM or adobeweb.dll
Throw These Away
(In my Windows 2000 systems, adobeweb.dll lives in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Web", and I don't seem to have any AOM files. I'm not sure under what circumstances they are installed or created.)
If you follow these step your adobe applications will no longer attempt to connect to adobe servers to report registration information.
If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable about deleting these files or folders, simply rename them something else. (I usually don't bother to delete. Rather I just prepend an underscore to the beginning of each name.) call it adobeweb.xxx"
(i guess you could also block it with firewall)
