Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
its not just Adobe, Java does this as well with their never ending daily updates. Sometimes there has been no option to NOT install the other crapware it wants to put on my computer. It almost seems as though they intentionally exclude the opt out option because they know people are so used to having to install this update they will just click through without thinking about it, which I have done a couple of times.

Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
How about on the adobe.com page where you downloaded the installer? There's a checkbox there. (Agreed with others that this bundling thirdparty software to eek out a bit more revenue is pretty lame.)

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.

Adobe is just a spammer now
So I succumbed to temptation and installed the latest flash player. In the process of installing it, I have to also install McAfee, even though I have paid for Norton's product. Now i have the conflict between the two. I DONT BLOODY WANT McAFEE!!! Then it opens a screen offering me other products I might want. A couple more Adobe products.I already have those. So ADOBE are nothing more than sleazy spammers now. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion 9 Enterprise, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| 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:359487 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
