Why the hell do you think i want you to install applications without my consent ?
I installed the free PDF reader and it installed Mcfee scan and mcfee Safe connect , in addition to that it installed MCfee as a service so i wont find it on my Programs never the less it installed network adapters as new devices ? WHY would you do that and why do you think i need Mcfee or any other software !!!!!! , everyone take acare and check your computers.

Are you saying that when you went to the download site you unchecked the tickboxes to NOT install the optional offers alongside with Acrobat Reader DC, and the installer ignored your selection(s)?

 

See this old discussion:

 

 

Also take a look here to verify if for some unkown reason, the installer ignored your unchecked choices:
