"An update for Flash is available"

[Battlehammer]

Now that you mention it, I am getting Adobe updates almost everyday on my Windows XP at home. Haven't gotten any recently on my Vista at work though.

deinstall? are you by chance an Oracle user? :)

And the F***ing short cut that comes with the Adobe update. Why the hell would I need a shortcut to your flippin reader!!!:mad:

Agreed that it stinks, but if those were end-user desktops, they are just going to re-install it as soon as a website demands it. If only Adobe and MS would play nicer, and make it easier to get third-party updates into a WSUS instance....

I was just going to post a similar comment. I don't mind the updates so much as the fact that every time I let the Adobe Reader update, it puts another shortcut icon on my desktop! I have absolutely no use for a shortcut to Acrobat Reader, and really can't think of a reason for Adobe to insist on putting one out on my desktop without even asking, except for advertising. And while we're on the subject, what's up with this AIR product? I found absolutely no use for it, and got rid of it quickly.

Yeah, all the time I catch myself thinking: "WTF! Why is this Reader Icon in my desktop again..." 2.3723 seconds later "Oh yeah, there was an update again... I hate you!"

[Keith Badeau]

Yes, regularly. I turn off the automatic Adobe "helper" functions that gets set to run automatically every single time an update is done (which means every other day):mad:. I always check the task scheduler to remove any unwanted tasks running. They don't need to be set on auto because as soon as you open the browser Adobe Flash will check for updates. Seriously, if updating Flash to patch a possible security breach then I really don't mind, the install is rather painless--at least this is what I think.

I use NitroReader (used to use Foxit but Nitro has a printer too and is fast too) :)
