I always chose the Opt Out option, and still occasionally have to uninstall McAfee on my wife's computers, and I finally solved the issue by allowing Adobe to automatically Flash updates. But all this whining is ridiculous. I've been working with PCs since the early 90s, and bundling one programs with hardware or other software has always been a valuable revenue stream for software developers. What we see today is truly nothing compared to the old wild wild west days. Back then, you'd find half a dozen programs in your installed list to uninstall for every program you actually wanted. Talk about registration issues. I'd have to wipe a c: drive and reinstall the OS at least once a year. The amount of money Adobe likely makes from its strategic arrangement with a reputable company like McAfee, even providing a clearly marked and explained Opt Box, far outweighs the 4-5 Forum Posts a year they have to read and respond to from spoiled consumers. Adobe aren't angels, but this is not a case where they've done anything unethical or unscrupulous. If you install McAfee, as I too have inadvertently done in the past, it's your own fault, as it was mine.
