Unwanted McAfee Installation

Hey Adobe,

 

Including McAfee when downloading Acrobat Reader by default and those small check boxes that users have to opt out is incredibly deceptive business practice. What's worse is that even after unchecking those boxes McAfee gets installed and I have to manually remove it. Looking back at the posts in this forum this McAfee bullcrap seems to be going back at least a decade, if not more. Is the only language you understand a lawsuit? If so get ready because one's coming your way soon.

McAfee Security Scan Plus won't get installed any more by default.

 

You need now to opt-in. But yes, I agree, it is not something that I would expect from Adobe.
