Adobe bad business practices

Post by Chris » Wed Mar 02, 2011 6:55 pm

I just updated my Adobe Reader and without asking or even providing a checkbox to "opt out", it downloaded and installed McAfee! What the $#%& is that about?! You don't secretly install anti-virus software just because your software has glaring security vulnerabilities. Most security experts will tell you you shouldn't have more than one active anti-virus scanner running, yet Adobe just dumps one on you willy-nilly. Pathetic. :v:
