I don't use McAfee; I don't want to use McAfee software. And I don't like it when you sneak an installation of their software in on a download of Acrobat Reader. Did I miss a checked box? I don't know .. you shouldn't check YES as a default anyway. This has been an ongoing gripe of mine w/ Adobe, and now with a fresh machine I just got McAfee installed on a machine I most definitely did not wanted it installed on!!!!!!!!

    Yes, you missed a check box.

    Always check for bundled unwanted extras when downloading and installing any new software and be sure to decline them.
    Use custom install when it’s available. Read all of every window before clicking.
