The latest update for flash forced me to install McAfee without my consent.

I was prompted to download the flash player here

The file that was downloaded was here

This screen popped up. After clicking next, both flash and McAfee were installed. there was no option to not install McAfee.

This is unacceptable.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce.  I downloaded the file you downloaded and only Flash Player PPAPI was installed.  McAfee was not.

Please provide the 2 log files, Adobe_ADM.log and Adobe_GDE.log, saved at C:\Users\YourUserID\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe_ADMLogs (replace YourUserID with your actual user ID).  Upload the 2 files to cloud.acrobat.com/send using the instructions at https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7161.  Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply.

Thank you.

Hello,

I am damned pissed to find out McAfee bullshit was installed on my system without permission.

Who the hell do you people think you are?  You get plenty of income from paid apps like photoshop, ec. This DOES NOT give you permission to "force" install unwanted software.
