Leapfrog software wants to update my flash for me?? Security issue? Help please.

Hi,

I'm trying to get Leapfrog software (a kids learing tablet, it requires me to install this software on my PC in order to install apps as it lacks internet connectivity) working on my PC. During installation it told me in order for the software to work, my flash needs an update. The Adobe site says my flash is up-to-date. I've had issues with this software before, it spread itself across a friend's computer and was so difficult to remove it bordered on malware. So, I just really don't trust this at all now: I think allowing this software to install "a flash update" could give it some kind of priviledges on my computer right? I find the whole thing quite insidious and only want to agree to this with assurance from someone "in the know" that I'm being paranoid Thank you very much for your help!
