Why is a very bad version of McAfee being installed when I already have a version of McAfee

I'm having a hard time understanding the logic behind this. I have to uninstall software to install the software I want because you're insisting on installing this nonsense.
O and I'm complaining to McAfee since I'm a customer and I'm sure as **** not staying with them if they keep this up.

Thank you for contacting McAfee Consumer Support.  An agent will be with you shortly.

Hello, . Please give me a moment while I review the description you have typed in.
Customer (21:57:34):
Basically I want to make a complaint
Srinivasan Cs (22:00:50):
As I understand your concern, when you download adobe flash some Mcafee version is automatically installed despite of having valid  McAfee subscription?
Customer (22:01:11):
yep
Srinivasan Cs (22:01:19):
I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Customer (22:01:22):
it seems to be bundled with Adobe flash player
Customer (22:01:29):
and I don't want it
Srinivasan Cs (22:01:58):
Thank you, . I will definitely help you with that. Please give me a minute to check your account details.
Customer (22:02:00):
could you ask Adobe to stop bundling it together or provide McAfee customers with Adobe flashplayer without this as I have to uninstall it on every computer
Srinivasan Cs (22:02:19):
I will help you with that.
Srinivasan Cs (22:02:54):
, I see that you have valid McAfee products registered under the e-mail address --------------
Customer (22:02:58):
not my all access just this other nonsense
Customer (22:03:05):
yes
Srinivasan Cs (22:03:25):
Peter, the issue you have described is a technical related concern and would be best addressed and resolved by our Technical support team. I can help you get in touch with them. Would it be okay if I transfer your chat session to our free technical chat support team?
Customer (22:03:48):
well no i don't need technical assistance
Customer (22:04:04):
i want McAfee not to bundle products with Adobe flash
Customer (22:04:14):
otherwise I'm going to go elsewhere for security needs in future
Customer (22:04:16):
this is a complaint
Customer (22:04:33):
the McAfee I paid for works fine
Customer (22:04:49):
I just don't see why this very poor version of McAfee is being forced on people
Customer (22:04:58):
and would like a clear explaination of why this is happening
Customer (22:05:15):
if not i want to lodge a complaint and ask that you do not do this in future
Customer (22:05:23):
or just implore your company not to do it
Customer (22:05:32):
as you're not going to sell more products in doing so
Srinivasan Cs (22:06:10):
It is a free tool given to all the adobe customers. You can uncheck the tool during installation. However I would like to inform you that it is offered through Adobe,
Customer (22:06:17):
nope
Customer (22:06:19):
you can't anymore
Customer (22:06:25):
it was installed with no uncheck
Customer (22:06:45):
yes i know this but I want to make a complaint to you
Customer (22:07:11):
as I already have McAfee and either Adobe is misrepresenting McAfee or there is poor business practise going on
Customer (22:07:16):
and would like to make this complaint
I will point out that I will make a complaint with the EU on the grounds of this being a way of monopolising the market, like internet explorer which is useless.

This is a user-to-user forum and there is no one here who makes any decisions for Adobe.
The "no opt out" installs have been documented and reported. Your guess is as good as mine what will come of it.
There are FULL installers which contain nothing but the Flash Player installers.
I use them myself because I don't update ANYTHING automatically, to avoid exactly what you've experienced.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Bookmark those. They don't change even when the version updates.
