I have a vague recollection of an incident, years ago, whereby Adobe installed Macafee whenever you installed a flash update. There was a little checkbox to control this, but it was checked by default. Pissed me off, i had get macafee off my computer pronto as it didn't get along with the anti virus i had already installed.

Yup. There was a huge internal commotion about this on our employee only general mailing list. The person who reported it was very shrewd, reporting the behavior as an open ended performance question. Employees in the Bay Area inmediately hated it. A VP had to step in and stop the discussion because it was happening in spite of our collective objection.

It still happens.

They "suggest" by default to try out Macafee and Intel True Store (not sure about the name).
