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.

I've found that there is a check box somewhere right at the start of their download process to uncheck that eliminates the bloatware on both Windows and Mac installs. . . you have to search their page carefully to find it.
