Silently installing browser extensions that can "read and change all your data on the websites you visit"?? That's not nice.

Adobe Does It Again! Privacy Alert! ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Did you install from Adobe.com or some 3rd party site? That is first question and a constant one with pop-ups in Firefox and other applications, which is why I opted to move to the new Microsoft Edge.

That just showed up on my computer 5 minutes ago!

You have to be very careful allowing Adobe to install anything on your computer, specifically Flash or Acrobat.

Adobe's installation software normally gives you a choice to decline Chrome, or to install an Adobe "tool bar" or "search bar," but you have to make that choice in the very first window they show, the first window you see when you decide to go along with their "suggestion" that you do an upgrade.

If you miss that question — and you have to read very carefully to find it — you will automatically get Chrome and their "search bar," which intercepts everything you search for and sends it to Adobe and who knows where else.

Chrome allows malicious scripts blocked by IE, Edhe and Firefox. Anyone running chrome should hit ctrl/alt/del and ask themselves why are there so many services related to chrome listed. Furthermore why does the Google toolbar need in some cases 1000’s of registry entries? Answer: It’s one big datamine.

I had that a couple hours ago. I had 3 options. Enable extension, remove extension and something else. I chose remove extension since I never asked for it in the first place. I think I did the right thing.....I become very irritated when extensions self install!!

I am so F*(&$@# tired of Adobe Acrobat updates. I wish someone would make them irrelevant. And barring that a LAW should be passed that requires companies to COMPENSATE (i.e. PAY) USERS for updates that users install in less than three months from a previous update.
