Question

Adobe Flash Player 24 PPAPI did not allow opt-out McAfee Security Scan Plus

It's been many years since I've seen a Flash plugin install without the ability to opt-out of the 3rd party promo, i.e. toolbars, McAfee, etc.  This latest Flash plugin update I received today forced McAffee Security install.  Just informing the Adobe team so they can be aware this is not typical at least in recent times.

I am using Windows 10 with Chrome.  The update notification was delivered to me via desktop notification.

Regards

Hi chunkysalsa

The download page has an opt-out option.  If you're not seeing the opt-out option it's possible Javascript is disabled on your system.

Hi Thanks for the reply.  As I mentioned, it is on the update notification window/pane that loads and appears when I boot-up and when Adobe has updates ready for me (I have selected the option to be notifified of updates, rather than automatically install them).  Thanks you.

Rather - I receive updates via an update window pane.  Not a download page.  There is no opt-out option present on this window pane.
