Why is adobe forcing people to install POS garbage software. 
I pay for this software and because Adobe made PDFs the standard.

Now everyone that wants to open a PDF file using Adobe Reader has to install McAfee POS Garbage software? 

WHY? 

 

why is this even a thing? 


Why with your great product set would you include garbage software?

 

Why would you act like many inscruples companys and install the equivelent of spam software on people's PCs?

Do you do the same for people using Macs?

 

I am canceling my all app subscription if this garbage doesn't stop immediatly. 

Although, [abuse removed by moderator]; there are definitely other platforms that do everything that your software can. 


Why would you soil your brand and great software with the likes of auto-installing software?

So so sad!

No. They need only Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat.

have you done the recent installation of reader? 
No you don't need to install McAfee; but it pretty much is an integrated part of the installer. 

Being an IT consultant; I have no issue with this as I know how to work around it. 

However, the average user at the other end doesn't know how to avoid the installation. 

Try the latest reader installation. And tell me what you think?
