This was a problem for me as well, in Firefox on WinXP. I was on Facebook and when I tried to play a TopGear video it asked me to update my player.. I had been using a debug v10 player, but the previous release. I was taken to the Adobe site, clicked on an "install it now" button and suddenly I was installing the Adobe download manager and, without even asking me or giving me the ability to cancel, it installed McAfee antivirus scanner as well.
The one thing I wanted, the updated plugin, never installed. Probably because I, in irritation, killed the download manager and then wasted my time uninstalling it and McAfee. I ended up downloading a new version of the debug plugin and installing from my hard drive. Not exactly a great end-user experience. -------------------------------- Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Specialist amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 214 King Street West, Suite 214 Toronto Canada M5H 3S6 P 416.364.1455 ext. 232 F 416.364.9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.
