McAffee antivirus being downloaded during install of acrobat? I have seen that about 30% of the posts in this community are people getting suspicious and mad of the acrobat downloader also downloading the mcaffee antivirus, I too was mad and dissapointed that such a large company would use methods of foul play to introduce unwanted softwares unto our computers, I searched up why it was downloading mcaffee and immediately attempted to cancel the installation, here's the interesting part, when I clicked the "X" button to cancel the download, it said "do you want to cancel the download of acrobat reader?" and I clicked "yes", after which it proceeded to cancel the installation of mcaffee antivirus, but not the installation of acrobat. Obviously I was confused, then i got angry, as the dialogue box asked if i wanted to delete reader, not mcaffee. This is absolutely unacceptable and i did not expect this from adobe. However much the moderators and so deemed "verified helpers" try to argue that it is an option, it is not and the downloaders of acrobat
