    Is it just me, or does everyone else get an alert that a new version of flash is available every single time I reboot my machine?

        if it's not Flash, it's Adobe Reader, or f***ing Java.

          its not every time, its only every other time..

          Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.

            Did you check the "Don't install or remind me about this monstrosity" box in the dialog?  I did, and get the alert only when an update is acutally released, which is only about twice a week. /ravi

                  Yes, since few weeks they are trying too hard to fix their 2 crappy products, so every day either Flash or Acrobat Reader will update, and then ask you to restart the computer (which you just started). :| and if I get lucky then Firebug will update...

                      I have disabled most of the Adobe autoupdates. They are just plain annoying. In fact I no longer use Acrobat Free Reader in favor of another one that does not update so much. Wish I could avoid flash too.

                      Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                                        I don't get any alerts when you reboot your machine.

                                          Is it just me, or does everyone else get an alert that a new version of flash is available every single time I reboot my machine?

                                          cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP

                                          I don't get an alert when you reboot your machine. Anybody who does might want to tighten up the security on the ol' firewall.

                                          I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.
