On my win xp pro sp3 machine from all the Adobe stuff following software installed only:
- acrobat reader
- flash player
- shockwave player

The Secunia scan tool noticed me recently I had old version of flash player.
It is not right, some days ago just upgraded to 9.0.151.0.
Why I am still using the 9.x one see my other thread in the adobe flash player forum.
In-depth analysis has shown that the old one is indeed present on my station:
Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe is available on this machine and it keeps the old and vulnerable version of adobe flash player.
What for ???????

I didn't ever install the air application installer on my own.
It must be one of other three applications I'm using intentionally.
Has the Adobe Acrobat Reader this been ?
If yes, what did he it for ?
Why is nobody upgrading the vulnerable flash version attached to AIR ?
How can I deinstall it ?
