Suspicious behaviour: Does installing Adobe Reader also installs Google Toolbar and Chrome?


adobe staff, please confirm behaviour...

 

yesterday downloaded adobe reader http://get.adobe.com/reader/ freshly installed windows 7

computer.

 

while installing adobe reader, app automagically installed google toolbar on ie , chrome on computer.

 

while have nothing against having google toolbar or chrome, sneaky way installed bothers me...

 

that's kind of thing malware , spyware do... not adobe!

 

so can adobe please confirm behaviour of adobe reader? i'm beginning bit concerned.

 

by way, did not see opt-out box?

 

if there one, it's well-hidden missed it!

 

thanks.

umm.... no.

the only thing possibly install adobe reader mcafee security scan plus , you do have option not download it.

there 1 exception must on mac see it. that's trial of adobe lightroom mac.
