Question

Norton Bloatware in Digital Editions installer - please stop this

Dear Adobe,

Recently, my company published a new ebook using Digital editions. We hoped it would be a pleasant experience for our loyal readers, while also protecting our copyrights. 

However, the Digital Editions installer has an added "bonus," by including the Norton antivirus program. My users are understandably upset about this and some have accidentally installed Norton by just clicking through the installer screens without noticing how to prevent it from being installed.  Please stop this! My business relies on your product working well and not pissing off our users.

I hope other Digital Editions publishers will join me in protesting this.

2024. They're still doing this. Dishonest.
