The Rivetess' other occurrence. So as not to confuse
After resetting the SWIMBO's laptop, we were back to a point where Adobe was old, and McAfee seemed to have regained a foothold.
Got rid of McAfee again and got Adobe to update, taking very great care to un-check the McAfee download box.
But first, we had to un-check a Chrome download box.
Grrrrrr. Why do Adobe do this?
Anyway, all downloaded, but we are offered something to do with Internet Explorer right in the middle of the process. SHUT THAT DOWN. and press on with the Install. Everything absolutely bog standard. Successful, it tells me.
Check the Reader, and it's still V8. No sign at all - anywhere - of V 10.
Was it because I didn't play ball with the IE part of it, and if so, what is motivating Adobe to fill people's computers with other stuff?
