title: Can I turn off adb automatically starting when Eclipse is open?
body: <p>I am using Eclipse to develop both C and Java. I have an Android phone, and when I connect it to my PC, Eclipse (?) automatically starts adb, even though all the Android projects are closed. Is there a way to prevent this happening?</p>
  
  <p>Reason: I want to tether my phone using pda-net to my PC, to use as a modem. pda-net cannot connect if another adb process is running.</p>
