Advice Request Adobe Digital Editions and Norton Bloatware

[ErzCrz]

Just a heads up. I use Adobe Digital Editions to download my library eBooks from BorrowBox. Upon installation, it background installed Norton Security (30 day trial) without any prompt and I didn't see advanced options to opt out of it when installing Adobe Digital Editions today. It uninstalled just fine and didn't leave any reminents, just don't open the program as the product hadn't activated yet but was running in he background.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I didn't get the OPT-Out screen on a fresh clean install yesterday which is why I posted this.

Anyway, thanks for the information

For an advanced sweep you can use Norton Removal Tool (NRnR).
