Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
It doesn't matter, the company the size of Adobe, should never be doing this with their downloads at all.

Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
>>I downloaded the flash installer, then ran the installer, and it went right ahead and installed two items - the flash player and then without pause the McAfee crap. I confirm, I executed directy the installer and I had no opportunity to uncheck McAfee. Only after it failed, BECAUSE OF McAfee, I was directed to another procedure where I could uncheck McAffee. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359493 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
You can say whatever you like, Eric but i was given NO OPPORTUNITY TO DESELECT the installation of the McAfee product which I definitely DO NOT WANT. I downloaded the flash installer, then ran the installer, and it went right ahead and installed two items - the flash player and then without pause the McAfee crap. Because of the treatment I received from McAfee a few years back, I resolved never EVER to do business with McAfee again, and so it's doubly bad that Adobe force it on me.

Yes...you can deselect it...it is a detestable practice that should default to not checked rather than checked. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2014 12:27 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Adobe is just a spammer now > In the process of installing it, I have to also install McAfee, even > though I have paid for Norton's product.

Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
Nope Dave it has offered the option to deselect it in the past, but this time just went on ahead and installed it without asking.So installation of the flash runtime took twice as long this time i had to uninstall the damned McAfee after the adobe installer finished.
