How can I stop the Google downloads when doing a Flash player update?

Whenever I do a Adobe Flash Player update the Google Chrome and Toolbar download with the Flash Player update. Is there anyway to stop this from happening before the fact, rather than  having to remove the two Google programs after the download? It is very annoying and also sneaky on Adobe and Google's part! I am using Windows 7 with IE10. I do not have Google Chrome.

Thank you,

Uncheck the optional programs on the download page

or use the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_header

Pat Willlener,

     Thank you. I see you have that opion when you go straight to the download on the Adobe website, but I do not recall haveing that option when I got an automatic update notice from Flash Player and used the "update now" button. Is that right?

Thanks again,
