No, go directly to Adobe.com for any Adobe downloads. NEVER under any circumstances ever download an Adobe download from any other source. . . especially one from an email or a pop-up. That’s the way malware can get on your computer.

Excellent advice.

Even if you go to the A-dope-y website, by installing the update you always get an extra bonus payload, some sort of useless security scan software from McAfee, and there’s no way I’ve found to opt out of it. I have to delete it every time. Grrr.

I don’t know if they do that to Apple users, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

Thank you for posting this thread.

Thanks for your help. I uninstalled it.

Now another question, if you wouldn't mind. If I reinstall it using Opera as my browser instead of IE would that bypass the problem, or should I just wait until further notice from Adobe that the problem has been fixed?
