I already have McAfee. Why would Adobe take it upon itself to assume I needed it? The installer won't let you opt out. This is regrettable behavior for an industry-leading software company.

Opting in or out is done before you download the installer, and is "conveniently" located down the page, well below the Download link, so many people miss it. Depending on your location it will be either ticked by default, or not. In the EU it's not. In the US it is, from what we've heard.
