Question

Update Notification Download Button Issue

Hi,

Not really sure if this should be in the General area or in the Bugs & Issues area... so please moderator(s) please move this if it needs it...

Was just informed about an update to the Flash Player ... so hit the download and ran the installer... it started to automatically download McAfee Scan Program, (which I did not, nor have I ever included for download/installation) ....

The download button on the update notifier should be pointed to the page where it asks if you want the McAfee software as well... it does not currently do this. is automatically download the installer that calls for both the McAfee and Flash Player to download and install...

This is a backhanded method to have unwanted software installed on a consumer's computer...

I recommended updating the download button to stop at the page that asks if you want the McAfee sofware as well

Just my 2 cents...

Yup that's exactly what I was talking about!

Clearly my search criteria was insufficient as I did not see that in results when I was looking earlier LOL

Sorry for reopening a new thread about an existing topic...

That is fine.  Many people complained about the same issue in the last few days, and I always ask them for a URL, and/or a screenshot - so far I have not received anything.

Can you provide any?  That would really help to narrow the issue down.  (I got several update notifications for Flash Player recently on several computers, but I never got any bundled downloads.)
