Default Adobe Ads Manager (oops) Download Manager...

I downloaded an update for Adobe Reader today and I was quite unimpressed to watch the Adobe Download Manager show me a bunch of Ads. Is this a new form of advertisement?

I also couldn't help but notice that the traditional Google Toolbar "bundle" had been replaced by a McAfee Security Scan:

Mind you, if you do install Adobe Reader, it is a good idea to have another security product running. We see countless numbers of PDF exploits on the web these days.
