Bug: Avast Software Updater... installed McAfee lol

Should be an easy fix, you're just targeting the wrong Adobe Flash update that automatically installs McAfee I believe.  Might want to make sure you have that pointed at the right one in the future, luckily McAfee seems easier to uninstall then it used to be.

Hi,

How many Adobe Flash player versions do you have installed on your device?
It is also possible that McAfee might have been bundled with another program on your device.
I would suggest that you look at the list of apps shown in Software updater and exclude "ignore" the app associated with McAfee.
