動画止めるだけ

It's really annoying, the fact when I'm going to watch important videos on Khan Academy, it turns on. It does this for, every, single, video I even touch. (Not just Khan academy) I don't like when I have to unpause it every time. McAfee, can you just put mods so it wouldn't pause on every single one? After that, I will use it again.
