Poor marketing connection Adobe - McAfee

I am seeing I'm not the first and apparently won't be the last who expresses disgust and mistrust with Adobe bundling McAfee with its Adobe Reader product. 

If there was a tick box or some way to opt out, I - like many others - did not see it. Not a good look Adobe. Creating a bad image here, and reputational damage. 

Now I'll be spending the next hour trying to figure out how to unistall McAfee, as it doens't want to remove itself just via the normal uninstall app page. 

Sigh

Hello,

 

I hope you're doing well, and we apologize for the delayed response and the trouble.

 

You can uncheck McAfee when downloading the freeware Acrobat Reader app. If you wish to share your opinion/feedback, please use this link to share your feedback with the product team directly.

 

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
