Problem with Reader download and McAfee

I am the administrator of a small charity with a number of very naive users. They need to be able to read PDFs and so must have a PDF reader. I can tell them the link to download the Adobe Reader but unless they untick the McAfee box they will install McAfee. Most of them will then be thrown in unrecoverable confusion. It's no great help if I warn them that they need to untick the McAfee box - many will forget. And uninstalling McAfee will be way beyond many of them.
Is there a link I can give them which will enable them to download the Reader without getting McAfee by default?
I could find an alternative non-Adobe reader and give them the link to that, but there is a further complication that we have got some more competent users who need to edit and return the PDFs I send them. Is there an alternative product which would enable them to do that?
I don't want to have to provide two links, one for naive users to a non-Adobe reader and the other for more competent users to the Adobe Reader with a warning about unticking McAfee.

Many thanks to Pat for the very prompt response.
I followed the link suggested by Pat and requested the right to distribute the Reader as the Administrator of the charity. The email granting the right gave me a link to a window from which I was able to download the Installer for the Reader, an executable file, without having to untick McAfee. That is what I would like our members to be able to do, but it seems to me that the only person allowed to use this link is me as the Administrator - I don’t think I can pass it on to the members.
I think that instead I am expected to pass the installer executable file to the members. The email says I would do that, for example, as a download bundled in with the Distributer’s installer. We don’t have anything like that. I assume that in principle I could attach the file to an email and send it to the members, but it is far too large for an email attachment. Other means of getting it to the members, such as a private Dropbox, would get too complicated for our least technically able members.
I can’t find any way to email Adobe Support about this, so hope that pat or other people in this group might have some ideas.

  • TS3212 i saw the file download security window and did enter run, it only gets so far and then a window pops up that says there is a problem with the download and can't install.  what do I do?

    I did see the security download window and entered "run", but it only got so far and a window popped up saying "problem with download, can't proceed".  What to do?

    This happened to me, too. If I remember correctly, I had to set wither iTunes or my computer to download files one at a time instead of all at once. I don't remember how I set it to do this, though. I also remember that I had to delete the files and downloads and restart them all after I did this. Sorry I couldn't help more.

  • HELP! Problems with appstore download and apple id and password

    Mac appstore wont let me download apps. Problem is that appstore doesnt recognize my password. At the same time, appstore alowes me to verifiy my accout (my apple id accout which i use for mac appstore) using the same apple id and password. But when I try to use that pass for downloading apps it wont let me. With the same id i can log on icolud.com, and used it to log on this site also.
    I am using iMac, early 2009, OS Lion and have different itunes and apple id accounts.

    Sign fully out of the store and then back in again.

  • Problem with Reader X and Fillable Forms

    I made the mistake of upgrading to Adobe Reader X yesterday. Now the main software that I use in my financial planning business (Winfund) is unable to generate fillable forms. No error messages; just the screen becomes black and the progress marker at the bottom says "done". I'm running Internet Explorer 8 on a Windows XP machine. Luckily, my laptop still has Reader 8 on it, so I can operate from that machine. Is there anywhere on the web where I can download Reader 8 or 9?

  • Problem with Excel download   and scientific number

    hi:
       I am downloading internal table to excel using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. The  field value of a recorder  is '77E000' as text type in the internal table. When it downloaded to the excel , the value is converted to the scientific number '7.7E+01'.
       How can I solved it ?
      thanks.

    Hi,
    Before passing the internal table to GUI_DOWNLOAD, concatenate a apostrophe symbol to the field such that the field will be considered as text and displayed as it is in the Excel.
    Eg,
    If field1 is the field containing 77E000 in the internal table then use this
    data: c_quote(4) type c value ''''.
    loop at itab.
    concatenate c_quote itab-field1 into itab-field1.
    modify itab.
    Now pass this internal table to GUI_DOWNLOAD and check.

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

  • When i try to update my itunes on my pc i keep getting the messaage that there was a problem with the installer and it could not finish. how do i fix this? i`ve tried to download 3 times already.

    when i try to update my itunes on my pc i keep getting the messaage that there was a problem with the installer and it could not finish. how do i fix this? i`ve tried to download 3 times already.

    Hi
    I've got a similar problem.  iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error.  I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified" 
    Any ideas?

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

    problems with .ARW files and auto toning
    let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
    now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
    Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
    but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
    allow me to explain
    lets say I import 100 images
    i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
    as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
    i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
    for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
    one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
    to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
    how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
    i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
    but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
    now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
    any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
    there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
    second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
    thanks for the help

    sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
    i've disabled it now
    thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
    its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
    but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
    because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
    so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
    is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
    its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
    what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

  • Problem with java, ASCII and Linux

    Hi Friends,
    I has a Linux RedHat 9.0 with a jre1.5.0_04 (rpm package of Sun).
    I has a problem with ASCII , for example :
    import java.io.*;
    public class HolaMundo
    public static void main (String[] args)
    System.out.println("Hol� M�ndo");
    this programs runs ok on my windows jdk so it prints "Hol� M�ndo", but when i run the same HolaMundo.class program on my linux redhat it prints "Hol�� M��ndo"
    I think the problem is with the ASCII table that uses the linux version of jre, but i dont know how to solve this problem. I need a Spanish-European ASCII table on my application but i think it is working with a US-ASCII table.
    Then i has installed a kaffe 1.0 (rpm) java machie on this linux and this solve the problem but i has another problems of compatibility with this old version of java kaffe.
    Do you know whats happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem doesn't have to do anything with Java or Linux as far as i can see. It's more likely a problem with Windows XP and IE. Be assured that normally downloading the Linux JDK in windows is not a problem.
