Why download manager?

[Guest]

Hi why do I have to get download manager?

I do not want it!

I do not want any installs other than the ones I need on my pc!

And I'm tired of all companies trying to get me to install all

kinds of crap to get something.

Trying to install flash player as one needs on a pc today

1. why the "auto tick" on McAfee security scan.

   I already have a anti virus.

   Set it to tick if you want it!

   The same goes for all news letters, my mail boxes are already filled

   with various kinds of spam. If you have anything useful to mail to your

   customers, inform them of so and let them deceide themselves if they

   want it or not. By doing so rather than to "hope" that they forget to untick

   The boxes people might read the info Adobe want to share.

2 Download manager is rubbish, I do not need a download manager

   for every single companys software I need to use.

   Neither does it work properly.

Adobe should be a large and serious enough company to let their customers

deceide for themselves what they want of installson their pc's.

Why do you use the download manager then?  Why would anybody want to use the download manager - I simply don't understand it!

I publish the direct download site here multiple times every day, and it can also easily be found using Google, so why is everybody still desperately trying to use that download manager (and the McAfee software that gets bundled with the download)?

Here it is, one more time...

Cheers, a little more reasearch and I found a direct donwload, got that sorted, but I still find

it disapointing that a company like Adobe uses above mentioned techniques on their main

download links?

Maybe there should be direct linking to the direct download wit an option of using the other

alternatives with all news letters unticket, and a visual focus on the fact that one can have

the news letters of choice if one needs/ wants so?

Cant answer for all other, but I would for sure give me the impression of Adobe being a

serious company Of course I know that Adobe is a serious company I  the software they

make, so that is why such disapoints me to see. I find it to be a bit cheeky and Adobe

should not need to be cheeky, It to me it de-values the qualities of the brand.

I would think this would be a factor in establishing a solid first impression with new

customers to, helping the company in verifying their qualities amongst existing and

new customers.

Sorry for being abit upset yesterday, but sometimes one is in a hurry and then it is a

bit annoying when something that should be 2 sec. job turns out to be a "mission"
