McAfee installed even though I UNchecked the box to authorize installation.

Question

I received a notice of an update to Flash.  I clicked on the link and was taken to the Adobe site, where I clicked on the Download link and specifically UNchecked to box for installing McAfee.  The installation file downloaded and, when it ran, it nevertheless installed the McAfee product, which I did not want. 
It's bad enough to have to OPT-OUT of having an undesired product installed, but when  the OPT-OUT instruction is ignored and  the undesired program gets installed anyway, it's REALLY unfair. 
Please fix this.

If you have nothing worthwhile to contribute, "MVP", then it might be better if you contribute nothing at all because that's the value of your contribution in at least three of these threads that I've seen so far. Find me the person who wants this garbage-ware installed, bring him to me. You won't. Aside from your fanboi-ism, nobody, NOBODY in any thread concerning Adobe's underhanded little trick wants the McAfee garbage on their computer. Everyone else has been critical of the way that Adobe has gone about this. Having it on by default means that some people will miss it. I know it, you know it if you get your head out of your fandom for 30 seconds, Adobe knows it, McAfee knows it which is why they pay a few pieces of silver for it to be done that way. Not you of course, as you've pointed out in other threads you are far too savvy and have never in your life clicked past a dialog inadvertently, but you know, mere mortal users without your l33t interwebz skills. The fault here lies entirely with Adobe and McAfee. So yes, it WAS Adobe's fault for deliberately including the malware in a way that it knew from the outset that some people would miss. How is it that everyone else is wrong and only you see the Pure Shining Truth? Enjoy it when Adobe finally hacks off enough customers with this and other recent policies and someone else comes along with comparable or better products. You can sit in here shining your pretty little MVP badge, assuring yourself that when the company finally goes to the wall or becomes a niche player that none of it was Adobe's own fault. I'm sure that the fanbois who could see that Lotus or Word Perfect could do no wrong told themselves the same thing.
Oh wait, you haven't hit the "this is a user forum, there's no point complaining here" chorus that you've churned out in some other threads yet, though I'm sure you will. Try, just TRY to fathom this concept. If Adobe is not monitoring these forums, then they would be idiots. And they aren't idiots, because we see staff members, not just fanbois with airs and graces, posting here. And the more posts that are made in the forums about it, the more Adobe might, just possibly, "get" the level of anger that exists about this subject in the wider user base. Which, incidentally, consists of more people than just you.
