Why does the default update install add McVee Anit-virus, I didn't want it the first time?

Everytime an update comes from Adobe the "Add McVee" is automatically checked. If I miss it, the update installs McVee and screws up my computer, I already have Norton and do not need nor want MCVee. I didn't want it the first time so If you can't have the default un-check that option I will have to find an alternate or some other .

You can set the Microsoft updater to not update automatically. It can be set to update manually. Eliminates one issue. Second issue is get rid of virus checking software. You don't need it.

  • 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.

  • In the About Firefox Help window what does, "You are currently on the default update channel" mean?

    Firefox cannot perform an automatic update when running as a normal user on my system (it just spins when connecting to the update server) so normally when it notifies me of an update I run the application as root, open the About Firefox dialog and select update Firefox.<Br>
    I was recently notified of an update to Firefox 7.0.1 (or 7.1 not positive) so I ran Firefox as root and opened the About Firefox box.<Br>
    This time instead of showing me "An update is available. Click here to update." it displayed "You are currently on the '''default''' update channel".<Br>
    What does this mean?<Br>
    <Br>
    Thanks,<Br>
    Adam.

    Mine says "the '''release''' update channel" on Windows. I believe this helps you know whether Firefox is checking for new official releases or new beta test releases. I don't know what '''default''' update channel indicates.
    A web search indicates that '''default''' means no updates. To change your update channel, check out this article:

  • Why does every Apple update require a restart?

    I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
    UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
    Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

    Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
    Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

    Hi,
    I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
    In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
    The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
    In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
    For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
    More explanation I gave above.

  • Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox update window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windowns, then choose to install, it uses this extra time to estimate the download?

    Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox UPDATE window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windows, then choose to download update, it uses this extra time to estimate the download? (Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)

    The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
    Did you manually check for updates?

  • Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"?  No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

    Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"?  No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

    Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
    So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests.
