after 28 years i have finally had enough. i'm sick and tired of being asked to install McAfee Virus protection EVERY time you guys publish an update for  Flash (which seems to be every freaking day).

 

you know, there are perfectly good alternatives to Flash but i'd rather not go that way. can you direct me to an alternate upgrade path / site?

    Background Update updates Flash Player, silently in the background for all player types* within 24 hours of an update being available.  Background updates is for Flash Player only, no optional third party software.

     

    To opt into Background Updates, go to the Flash Player Settings Manager in the Control Panel > Updates tab and change to 'Allow Adobe to install updates (recommende)'

     

    * player types that are not embedded in the browser, which are updated by the respective browser vendor.
