Unwelcome Downloads.

I wanted to install a single product. Adobe Reader. A useful product. I like it.

And as a result I get dumped with two very unwelcome Mcafee products. No checkbox to ask, no nothing. just part of the package.

I thought Adobe was more professional than to engage in conduct similar to a third rate website trying to add malware to your system.

I understand the product is free, and an advertisement or two is something I could understand. Not an invasion of my personal IT space. It is not up to you to decide how I will protect my computer.

Bad Adobe. Stop it.

    Hey Shaunh, 

    We understand your frustration. Sorry to hear about such experience with the service.

    While installing the Adobe application e.g Adobe Reader/Flash Player, the optional offer for McAfee displays in the middle of the page. It should have the checkbox to select or deselect it (as shown in the picture below)

    Or, you can download the enterprise version which does not have this featured download: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    You may also fill this feedback form Feature Request/Bug Report Form  to give your inputs.
