Adobe AIR is not a spywrae. Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that enables you to use your existing HTML/Ajax, Flex, or Flash web development skills and tools to build and deploy rich internet applications to the desktop.

Adobe AIR itself does not contain viruses. It is an application plug-in made by Adobe Systems Incorporated that enables desktop applications published to Adobe AIR to be installed and run. As with all applications, it is possible for a person to publish a program with malicious coding. However, the risk of an AIR application being a virus is significantly less than that of a typical native operating system application that does not utilize Adobe AIR. If you don't download or install an Adobe AIR application that is not secure, you should not get a virus from Adobe AIR.

Does photoshop have viruses?

If you purchase photoshop from a trusted source, there should be no reason for the installation to contain viruses. You might get an issue with the installation or program code (a bug), which Adobe will try fix for you. But no, if you install Photoshop from the Adobe website or from an electronic store you should not get viruses. However, if you attempt to install it from a second party website or try to get it free, there's no telling what will happen.
