Last Flash update on Windows also installed some McAfee thing without asking.
Easy enough to uninstal but annoying. Don't want to have to do this everytime.
I don't use the auto-update, but even manual also installs this thing.
Is there a way of preventing it happening?

It's sneaky, and I don't like it - we can only maintain vigilance.

Or maybe I'll keep a better eye out for it next time... didn't see one.

There was simply the 'download' button (or a 'remind me later button'), and that was it.
Because I wasn't expecting any shenanigans I just clicked thru.
NEXT time I'll be more careful!

I use "Absolute Uninstaller",,... rather than the windows control panel route... it always shows "New" in RED text ... against any recently installed stuff, so it is easy to pick it out and remove it, if you want to.... Useful to do occasional checks to see what has been dumped on you ! ! ! ....
