Why is Mcafee included with the Flash update? I don't appreciate unwanted apps auto installing!

Please remove Mcafee from future updates to Flash. If I wanted or needed Mcafee I would have gone to their site to get it. Now I am wasting precious time complaining about it and also uninstalling it.

When asked to download an Adobe Flash Player update today, I did so and started the application.
I saw that it was also downloading McAffe security software - without my approval. I was never asked to install additional software and I aborted the installation process.
This is absolutely abusive behavior and I will not tolerate this kind of behavior from any company, no matter how widespread their product may be.
I will also be contacting McAfee to let them know that I have a much lower opinion of their company than before for being complicit in this behavior.
It is amoral and should be criminal behavior to sneak additional software onto someone's computer like this. Shame on you, Adobe. This is worse than having opt-in boxes for additional products already checked.
I am disgusted and Adobe should be ashamed - but I'm sure that it is not.
The contact for McAfee Corporate Respnsibility is [email protected]
If you are upset about McAfee, or any other company, being complicit in this behavior, please contact that company and let them know.

  • Why was there no plugin included with the latest update of Flashplayer??

    Why on earth would a company like Adobe put forth an update to Flashplayer and not include a plugin with it???
    It seems that Adobe is screwing up with the other big guy's as well ie, Java.
    So, what else is new. More and more companies are hiring more and more help who are incompetent. It is starting to run rampant.
    Who knew? When things went at a slower pace they were done right. Not Half A#@$#.

    Not sure what you mean, Flash Player is both a plugin (for Firefox and other browser) and an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer.

  • Will updating my ipod touch with the new update erase all my pictures/music/apps?

    I want to get the new update, but I have music on my ipod from other people's computers. Is updating my ipod going to erase everything on it and start all over?

    The update itself will not affect your music. However, anytime you do a major update like this one there is a risk that there could be other issues that would require you to restore your device (not likely, but possible). Therefore, you should back up your device before you do the upgrade.
    Back it up to iTunes on a computer, or to iCloud. Then do the upgrade to iOS 7.
    That way, if you do have an issue that requires a restore, you can restore it to the backup you created.
    Cheers,

  • Why is there a Google download included with the Flash Player

    I really don't want Anything Google on my computer and there is much dicussion about Googles intrusion, in trying to install a Flash Player upgrade on my computer I noted that there  was also a Google download I would like to ask why this occurred? Does any one have an answer regarding this occurance.

    There has indeed been a lot of discussion going on about that subject, and I think everything has been said about it.  Nothing more that can be added.

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.

  • HT202157 My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light.  What to do?

    My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light.  What to do? It showed a USB symbol point toward an iTunes symbol and won't reset after resetting with the remote.  Same thing.

    usb symbol pointing toward an itunes symbol is apples way of trying to get you to connect the appletv to your computer running itunes so it can restore the apple tv's software
    though it seems to be a connection few people make

    Aha!  Thank you!!!  That was not obvious. Sometimes I don't get the green and red icons.  So it's slide it to the right for answering and slide to the left for voice mail.

  • I lost my spell check with the last update

    I lost my spell check icon with the last update from firefox. I would like to have it back.

    I don't think Firefox normally has a spell-check icon. Was it on an add-on toolbar? Do you recall Firefox saying that particular add-ons would be disabled for compatibility reasons?
    Let me guess that you used the spell check on the Google toolbar. Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    If it wasn't the Google Toolbar, a similar strategy still might work...

  • Why Wont GPS Work with the Nokie 5530 + Nokia LD-4...

    Ok, ive played around with all the settings, etc. The only lights being displayed on the ld-4w gps module are the green light and the blue light. the gps light is not turning on. it is all paired with the nokie 5530 phone.
    Ovi maps is installed, all the firmwire is updated.
    When i start the application 'Location' (the one thats included with the phone), it says searching for GPS devices. Then it says 'Waiting for gps', then (nearly instantly) it shows 'GPS Not Availible' and exits. After that it displays 'No Connection'.
    I have tried by going into my back garden and doing this but it still does not work.
    However, when I use ovi maps and type in a route, it displays 'Waiting for GPS' for a  long time, then it does not connect either, but then it also asks for an internet connection, which i dont have as i dont have any credit on my phone, and i also dont have wireless internet.
    If this is the problem, then why doesent the gps light on my ld-4w even blink?
    Please help, i need this GPS module up and running before my sisters birthday party lol (17th april)....so please help..its urgent!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Woohoo!! I finally got this working...what I did was I held the power button down for about 10 seconds until the lights alternated between green and red, and then i turned it back on again. Then while holding the power button down, i plugged it in the charger.
    Then i turned it back on again, and paired it with the 5530xm again, and it showed waiting for gps for about 5 mins, then it displayed some co-ordinates! Then i started ovi maps then it showed my location!
    Yeeeaaaahh!! it finally works!! Looks like it wasent nokias fault after all!!

  • Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

    Why would you think it's a bug?  If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
