PETITION: Adobe's practice of auto-checking 3rd party software installs with it's Flash Player updates

The fact that Adobe auto-checks the "install MaCaffe Bullware" is an ethically questionable practice. I understand that it is optional and I can un-check to prevent it from being installed, but I am coming to your updater to update Flash.  If you want to offer me something, make it clear AND make ME check the box to include it.  This sort of practice should be above a billionaire company like Adobe, its what I expect from predatory malware and adware applications.

Please respond with a message in agreement, and Adobe please count the number of replies here and on other threads and consider changing this practice.

UGH!

I would consider this open until the issue is actually resolved.

I think you just install a fake flash player one day that made you think that the real guilty is Adobe, which is not.

I personally run flash since 20 years and never had any problem of this kind.

so my advice is be sure that your accusation are well founded.

btw, flash will cease to be a plugin in 2020 so no worry to install anything after this date.
