| 1146457 | 2010-10-20 09:27:00 | No wonder I see so many computers with the McAfee security scan bullshit - when you update any adobe application, it installs the security scan without asking you, yet it double-checks you really want the software you were trying to install :angry | Greven (91) | ||
| 1146458 | 2010-10-20 09:37:00 | you have to untick that option when you download/install it | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1146459 | 2010-10-20 10:54:00 | Many programs seem to do this these days. Pays to be very alert when running through the install wizard. Read everything before clicking on the Next button... Coincidentally, this (blogs.techrepublic.com.com) was published today: "Five tips for getting rid of crapware"... (It's TechRepublic - you may have to sign up to read the article...) |

| 1146462 | 2010-10-20 20:18:00 | you have to untick that option when you download/install it they no longer give you the option to not install it. at least they don't install it silently |

| 1146465 | 2010-10-20 22:23:00 | It also wants to install some Adobe download manager rubbish, you have to make the installation fail and then download it manually if you just want flash and nothing else. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
