Hi Roger
I am running Norton and Malwarebytes so is your eme-adobe going to improve my security measures.If it is just another protection device that slows down my Pc then I would more than likely remove it.As far as installation it installed itself when I used Firefox to browse.

If you check Firefox's installed plugins right now, you may stumble upon one called Primetime Content Decryption Module provided by Adobe Systems, Incorporated if you are using a pre-release version of the browser.

It introduces playback capabilities for DRM protected media in Firefox and seems to be part of Mozilla's strategy to introduce those capabilities in Firefox."
