Stop bundling the McAfee junkware with every stupid flash update... I just forgot (in part because you moved the checkbox) and accidently installed the stupid mcafee scan!!! Dammit Adobe - quit this crap - it's infuriating and is making people even more excited about ditching flash for HTML 5!

    Just did it to me too and was not asked if I wanted "recommended" or custom settings, It just did it. There was a time when both of these companies would have been above such tactics but I think we are seeing the future of corporte integrety and ethics, or the lack of it.

    Makes me wonder if there was any real reason for the update or if it was just motivated by profit.

    i agree, this is getting stupid.

    Sometimes its there, sometimes its not.

    sometimes its below, sometimes its on the right.

    And if you are to fast (Like a lot of people setting up computers), it wont even load before you are on the next page, and it doesnt say anything about it..

    then the stupid dlm comes up, and you see it appear, and be installed before you can even press cancel...

    I agree, and they have no where else to complain about it.  I already have McAfee security softyware why would I want the McAfee Security Plus.  Would this not create a conflict?  Sure seams it would to me so I have to go an uninstall every time.  Gets really old and NO I do not think they are listening or reading these comments.

    This company has continued to slide, the surreptitious bundling of unwanted and un-asked-for software is disgusting. foxit reader is looking so much better after my last hijacking adobe DLM experience. I am tired of the bloatware and stealth installs.

    Listen to your customers.

    I agree it alienates users for product spam.
