What's with the persistent unwanted McAffee crapware?

[bud_dude]

Hello,

Why is it that Adoble feels compelled to try and force McAfee's crapware onto my computer with every update? Can you please create a permanent opt out of everything other than the update desired? Thankfully, everytime I''ve missed the carefully hidden opt out button when updating Adobe I have at least caught it during the install process in time to kill the entire install. By then I'm usually pissed off and don't bother updating Adobe at all. Why would Adobe want to alienate customers like this? What marketing genius thinks this is good for Adobe? If I wanted McAfee, I would go get McAfee... I do not want McAfee... Get it? I wonder how many people send you messages just like this one...

You're NOT addressing Adobe here. This is a user to user forum, and we're just like you. I have AVG and I don't like McAfee or Norton. But I'm a Mac user too, and I can't stand Windows for the fact that it must have anti virus software to begin with.

Use the FULL installers:

• Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
• Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Nothing bundled with those. Bookmark the links. Use them whenever you get an update notification.
