Solve : Adobe Flash Player taking different approach to updating?

Answer»

This is more of a comment than an question.  Today, I was prompted to update Flash Player.  It normally handles this completely outside the browser but today it took a different approach, apparently as designed by Adobe.  When I clicked OK to get the update, a web page opened at https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/plugin/ and I clicked on the Update now button.  The web page also shows the option to unselect installation of Google Chrome.  I do not have Chrome INSTALLED on this computer (Win 8 laptop) and did not intend to install it.  I overlooked the option on the web page and soon DISCOVERED Chrome was being installed along with the Flash Player update.  I canceled the installation, went back to https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/plugin/ and then SAW the option to unselect Chrome, which I then did and proceeded with the update of Flash Player. I think it's now a potpourii of apps with Flash...my most recent one had MacAffee as a rider.....ugggh. Quote from: patio on November 15, 2013, 07:45:59 AM

Yeah I also have seen this. I always wondered why most of the laptops have McAfee SECURITY scan installed. May be it's because it gets installed with Adobe flash updates.It is very annoying to get these pop-up reminders.Why should the have to update so often? And how can you be sure it is not a clever virus attack? Anybody can copy the adobe design.
