Why did Adobe try to foist unwanted programs?

I just had to turn my way through the update of Adobe Flash Player. I did not choose the advanced option to download and install the update, I would have had my browser changed for me (and other anomalies, it appeared). Thinking that I had sailed and to avoid this pitfall, there was at least one other programs six or eight that would be installed had I clicked on the button I accept (which seems to be simply accept the terms, but were not).

I'm furious about this blatant attempt to install "foistware" on my computer. Why would one feel no doubt responsible society, need to address this low? I can imagine there are hundreds (or even thousands) of people now wondering how they can get rid of these quite unnecessary programs and changes to their computers.

Thanks for your help smaily. If this happens the next time I need to update the program, I'll take screenshots and come back here with them.

  • Why did Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex appear twice in Add/Remove programs?

    I tried this request in an Adobe forum but got no answer. I use Windows XP SP3. When I go into Control Panel Add / Remove Programs, I see that Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex appears twice. Same name and both show the last time that I acceded to them was 14/08/2010. The second one is slightly different because it shoes 2.42 MB in size. Why the duplication? Can I delete one? Besides, if it has not been used since August of last year, do I need at all?

    Information on "Last use" and "size" in Add/Remove programs are notoriously inaccurate.

    Each of the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller from Add/Remove Programs entries.

    Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

    The current Flash ActiveX control is Flash10s.ocx.  There are several other auxiliary files as well.  If there are any files with the previous letters after 10 (e.g., Flash10p.ocx), delete them.

  • Why did Adobe suite what's new at halfway?

    The new stationary scrub with large thumbnails in the icon view would certainly be useful if it was applied in a way that works. As it is, it is useless. Unless your total film is about ten clips, you end up with dozens or more than 100 clips with no way to sort them, unless you enjoy wasting time and drag you all around in the order you want, I am sure that very few people are willing to do.

    Then why Adobe brings a new feature, even made tutorials about it, when, for most people is absolutely useless? I don't understand.

    Oh and before you harass me about filing a feature request, don't. I did already, and this isn't something that everyone should do. Feature requests should be new ideas, not a crutch for Adobe rely on the new features in the release to halfway and then wait people harass them on it to finish.

    Applications for designations to Adobe here are a further loss of time. If you want to request a feature or report a bug, do it here.

  • removing an unwanted program

    I tried to remove an unwanted program from my computer, nothing helps. When I try to remove it, I get the message, there is no, so we can't delete. But the program pretty still shows on my list of programs and the space you need on my computer. Every other time when I removed a program, the program has been removed and unlisted. Why is this program still on the list, and it seems that it is still on my computer? The program is PC Maximizer, one of these PC repair operations. What every opinion continues? Is this "thing" still in my system? If this is not the case, why is it always appear on my lists of programs? Thank you.
