Why do I have to keep selecting to be notified of updates?

Every time I get an update for Adobe Flash Player I have to select to be notified instead of selecting to do an auto update. I will never allow any program to auto update on my computer. Mainly because of the fact that Adobe Flash player always makes me uncheck the boxes to keep it from installing Google Chrome browser and tool bars. I'm sure if I allowed the auto update to run it will screw up my browser with Chrome's famous hijacked settings and due to some software restrictions at my work I have to use Internet Explorer. It shouldn't be that hard to make the selection a one time deal.

To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

Well what else would you need to know other than IE 11 and a Windows 7 64 bit OS SP1. The system is an Intel i5 with 8 GB RAM. I have a 10mb internet connection.

Okay, I think I know what you're talking about. Let me know if I'm understanding correctly.

On Windows 7, when you manually download and run the Flash Player installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, the selection for update preference always defaults to "Allow Adobe to install Updates (recommended)", regardless of whether or not you've selected a different option.
