Just wanted to ask if anyone else has seen this and to shame Adobe for doing this.
Turned on my work PC this morning to be confronted by a update flash player notification. Downloaded the update flashplayer22axau_ga_install.exe and ran it.
Everything looked like normal in that the first page of the installer asks about my update preferences (and as always ensured that it was set to notify only) and clicked next to install the update.
At the same time as installing the flash player update it installed McAfee Security Scan Plus without giving me any kind of choice to only install the flash player update and not the additional software.
I re-downloaded the update (which was a little tricky as the installer deletes the downloaded file at the end of the update from your computer) just to check that I hadn't missed an opt out check box to stop it installing McAfee and I hadn't.
Luckily I have enough access on this computer to go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features and uninstall McAfee.
This is pretty rubbish behaviour on Adobe's part, especially as its in an update to one of the most vulnerable bits of software most users have on their computer!
Shame on you Adobe!!
