McAfee crapware selected as default on update

[Guest]

Why is McAfee security garbage auto-selected on your web-page every time I try to update Adobe Flash?  Adobe already has a bad reputation for bloatware, why are you trying to make your reputation worse?

Thanks for the feedback.

Developing, maintaining and distributing Flash Player requires the talent and efforts of a large number of highly skilled people and an insane amount of bandwidth (it takes about 50 petabytes of data transfer to push a Flash Player update).  For products that Adobe provides for free, the bundled offers serve as a cost-recovery mechanism for what is otherwise a tremendously expensive undertaking.
