In my view we can rank order degrees of deceptiveness as follows:
Bad: Pre-checked box one can easily overlook
Worse: Telling you what's going on only after (or during) the fact, when it's

Worst: Never telling you at all.

I think you're getting a bit too worked up. Simply uninstall it and move on.
Obviously it bothered you enough to craft an email about it, but is it really a
big deal? Just uninstall McAfee and be done with it.
