Adobe Flash Updaters

Adobe’s latest critical security update pushes scareware | ZDNet:

“Adobe did something good this week, releasing a new version of its Flash Player software with automatic updating capabilities.

They also did something truly awful—using their update page to push a third-party scareware program designed to separate naïve PC users from their cash.”

(Via ZDNet.)

I have a much easier solution to avoid having to upgrade Flash manually, avoid the malware associated with Flash, *and *avoid Adobe’s cheap attempts to sell you antivirus you don’t need.

Uninstall Flash.

Problem solved.
