But every time you patch an Adobe product you have to make sure to uncheck the box (now boxes) for any unwanted products theyвЂ™ve attached to their distribution. They do the same thing with the Google Toolbar, although at least in that case the opt-out is positioned so you can more easily find it. The requirement that you must opt-out (rather than opt-in) of this download just adds to AdobeвЂ™s reputation as a distributor of unwanted software. The Adobe Reader download page does have an opt-out of the McAfee Security Scan Plus Scareware download, but it is very hard to notice (it is in the upper right corner). So this ugly beast is not only Scareware it is Adware as well! You can change settings to have this Scareware run every day or every month, but there is no option to disable it! To make matters worse, I just had a random pop-up trying to get me to purchase McAfee software. And it will re-run automatically and do this every week by default.

The download installs software from McAfee (of all people) that amounts to Scareware (a type of Malware that tries to scare you into downloading software).
