Did you install Adobe Reader without unchecking the AV box?

Yep, GF ended up with McAfree loaded when she didn't want it. Honest oversight. I took care of that. I am getting more pissed off by the moment at the bundling of software in installers. You have to parse everything and every step to make sure you don't get opted in to 500 other programs and toolbars.

Waah, I have to read what's on my screen and maybe press a button or two!

I have not installed shit.

It's not pushing a button or two, it's that the GFs pick standard install, and it goes and adds all the crap. That means the hind sight lesson is to always pick Custom install and only do the required things.

But if you don't update, then your computer may be at risk.
