Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.

  • Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

    When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

    Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed.  Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
    Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below.  While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
    If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

  • Unable to install Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Flash Player

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Acrobat reader and acrobat flash player on my Laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T420) after installing windows 8.1 64 bits, after successfully downloading both software, the adobe reader installer opens with a dark grey box and nothing else happens.
    The installer can't be closed except from the task manager.
    I have tried to start as administrator, enable javascript, different browsers, restart the laptop, ... all gave me the same result.
    Below image shows what i am receiving.
    Kindly advise.

    Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch.

  • Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
    The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
    I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

  • What is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?

    what is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?What are the procedure to download a Acrobat reader?

    Good day,
    Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files.  Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader.  You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'.  Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
    You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Kind regards,

  • Why is Firefox nownot compatabile with Adobe Reader and Adobe flash 10.o?

    The issue with Adobe Reader is when I fine the site I want using Google and the URL is a PDF file click on the site the document will not open.
    When trying to down load and install Adobe Flash player I got a message the it was not compatible with Mozilla Firefox
    currently I am running Firefox 6.0.2

    Pat-Thank you for the tip on Firefox not using Adobe Reader plugin.  I would like to clarify a couple of things.  I do not use Firefox, ever.  I had installed it just to see if I could pull up the PDF files, assuming it used Adobe.  I went to the link you mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136) on Post 6 at 12:10 a.m. I tried the steps more out of curiousity to see if Adobe would work on Firefox, but could not figure out how to do it. 
    At this point though, my concern is I still cannot get Adobe Reader to work on either Vista IE 9 or Windows 7 IE 11.  I still get this message on websites:
    To view your statement, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer.
    Download Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.
    I really appreciate your time and effort for all on this Forum.  I believe I may not be making myself clear though.  The Flash Player problem is resolved on IE 9 and 11.  But I have tried System Restore, Downloading from the Adobe and other sites when they give me the download adobe reader for free message, and my program manager clearly states the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed.  I cannot figure out where to go from here to get it to work, and as I mentioned before, up until a few days ago, Adobe Reader was working great on all my computers.
    One other item.  I notice I am getting literally hundreds of emails about Adobe problems in my inbox from others on the Forum.  How do I stop them from going to my inbox?  Did I set something on the Forum which is making it appear I may be an expert on Adobe issues?  How do I correct this without creating a new email account?

  • Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player, I still cannot open PDF files.

    Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader & Adobe Flash Player and reinstalled the latest versions, I still cannot open PDF files.  They always try to open in Word 2010.

    This is a Windows setting. In Windows 7 you can change it through the Control Panel: Either Start>Default Programs  or Start>Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set Associations
    Find .pdf and change it (click Change Program) from Microsoft Word to Adobe Reader. Browse to find the Reader application if necessary: Program Files>Adobe>Reader11>Reader>AcroRd.exe

  • Hello, I cannot figure out yet how to get Adobe's most recent Flash Player to Install Properly

    Multiple times and install to no avail.

    Hi Ryan,
    What happens when you try and download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer?  Does the download start?  Are you unable to find the downloaded file?  Does the installer fail?  If so, do you get an error message?
    Thanks,
    Chris
