Right now McAfee should be considered PuP by Microsoft just because of Adobe's behavior here.īack to the original page the download buttons download a file named readerdc64_en_I_cra_mdr_install.exe. it's dishonest behavior for Adobe to install software from another party without telling the user or giving them the option to opt out.
