How about NOT installing other junk WITHOUT permission?

Just updated my flash player and it auto installed the mcafee junk and DID NOT ask before it did.  So I had to hunt down the garbage and get rid of it.  If I wanted another product on my computer, I WOULD PURCHASE IT.  I did not give the installer permission as it did not even ask before just throwing it on my computer.  Unless it has changed, I do not trust any mcafee items.  I have not had good experiences or seen good experiences with them.  So please refrain from just putting things other than what I am updating onto my computer.  I enjoy adobe but can search for other alternatives if needed and this continues to be a trend.  Not exactly happy right now as it makes me wonder what else has been put on my computer by your updaters while I went to get a drink really quick during downloads.  *starts scanning her computer and cleaning it up*

In your Flash Player "Global Settings" under the Advanced tab, you can disable automatic updates. The downside is you have to update manually, but you can download the Adobe Flash Player installers directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Those have NOTHING BUT the Flash Player.
I recommend you bookmark those since Adobe ISN'T going to stop bundling third party apps no matter how many people complain, because it offsets development and distribution costs, and unless EVERYONE agrees to pay for updates (not likely), McAfee, Norton, and Google will continue to support freeware for them.

  • How do I install OS10.4 without the disks

    I have a older Macbook core duo which came with 10.4. I had to replace the hard drive but now the original OS install disk is damaged. The error reports scratches on the disk. How can I install the OS without the install disk? I tried installing Leopard from a disk but the Macbook rejects it. So it looks like I need to start with the original OS. Any ideas?

    It might run 10.6/SL...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

  • How about to install OS X on my PC using Windows OS

    I want use Mac OS X but I'm using Windows OS. How about to install Mac OS X on my PC using Windows OS?
    Thanks

    Do not know where you are from, but
    Look at either new Mac Minis or older Mac Minis and older iMacs from reputable Apple authorised resellers, that may exist in your area or region, such as this example.
    https://www.powermax.com/
    https://www.powermax.com/page/used-macs
    You can get used, older Mac MInI boxes pretty cheap.
    FYI other than the high end professional Mac Pro line which IS VERY EXPENSIVE, other Mac models are more on par with the costs of today's Windows PCs.
    The myth of Apple computers being expensive is really no longer true.

  • How can I install Adobe Acrobat without installing the browser extensions?

    Hello All,
    I am a computer Technician at a high school and we have very strict browser requirements for different services. We need to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDF's, and other tasks, and we need to use Chrome to open Adobe Reader files. The issue is that I want my 3 browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) to open PDF files using Adobe Reader XI. All my plugin settings are correct to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's, but it either downloads a PDF to the computer, or opens up in the browsers default reader (Chrome does this), or opens up to a blank page with a blank error message. I went into the programs Internet settings for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and it's telling me the browser opens them up using Adobe Acrobat (With no option to change the setting). The problem is only solved when I uninstall Adobe Acrobat.Then I am able to open PDF's in Adobe Reader just like I want (but this gets rids of Acrobat). This leads me to believe that when I install Adobe Acrobat, there is a registry key or something that is telling the computer to open PDF's in browsers using Acrobat. My initial question is this: How can I install adobe Acrobat without linking it to the browser. I JUST want Adobe Acrobat as a program installed on the computer.
    Additional Info:
    - I build a computer image and use that image on several computers. This issue persists with all of the computers I installed the image on.
    - I am using Adobe Reader 11 (Now DC, but I am willing to use either) and Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 (I think it's version 9?)
    Thanks for the help.
    - Charlie
