Jenny, thank you for your contribution. I hate to disagree with you, but since I knew the flash installer was going to try to force McAfee on me as it did last time (and really made a mess of my Norton - I had to reinstall that too as a result), I was looking for the checkbox or button so I could decline to install it. .
And it didnt appear. I had no choice to not install McAfee. I think there are different versions of the installer, or it offers the choice in some circumstances and not in others. But i DID NOT have the choice to decline installing McAfee. On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 1:42 AM, Jenny Gavin-Wear < jenn...@fasttrackonline.co.uk> wrote: > > Yes you were. It's just not very obvious.
