  They do not tell you that they are adding to the download. It conflicts with my paid antivirus.

  Always choose Custom Installation!

  I'll look for that. Thanks alosso

   

  Exactly. This is where you catch those add-ons because most people just click their way through to the end. Some of those clicks are on pages that have boxes you need to uncheck or you get something you weren't expecting.

  Found out the hard way. They get sneaky sometimes and Adobe is good for it also

  There is always a little box checked,  you have to uncheck it if you don't want the download at a lot of the dwld sites...using alosso's advice is the surest way to catch.....most ppl. miss it....

  If you look at the resources those "paid" AV's use VS the free ones you would think differently(like playing a game)....I have 6 units protected with free on all of them, and no problem.....
