I just ran the Mac installer when it came up and there was no
shovelware included; it’s only a Windows issue apparently.

I don't recall seeing this.  I presume this is on Windows?  Or, Mac, too?

Java (Sun) does the same thing and actually numerous other apps. I
agree, it’s a sucky practice.

I know this isn't an AE post but I don't subscribe to any Flash lists.
So, the latest Flashupdate installed MacAfee Scan Plus (or some
