I know I'm beating a dead horse but it would be nice if they still didn't make you opt out of McAfee when you download one of these critical updates.

If they absolutely must use these sleazy methods of making extra revenue, couldn't they just limit it to a singe opt-out the first time you install Flash? Kind of ridiculous that they're still trying to scam a buck out of the transaction when you're only downloading yet another update because of security holes.

Kinda makes you wonder why you have to update the program so often, regardless of these more serious issues if each update brings another chance that you'll forget to uncheck the box next to the yellow "M".

In addition to the constant stream of vulnerabilities, it's behavior like this that made me dredge up my old saying that I used to have for products from Real Networks: there's nothing on the internet that I need to see so badly that I'm willing to install Flash.

Now that I think about it, it was exactly this behavior (ride-along crapware) that had me dumping RN products. (Except RN became downright deceptive about it.)
