How can I install a Flash update without installing McAfee?

I have tried twice to install and have cancelled both times because it seemed that McAfee was installing. I have Norton installed and am happy with it. I don't object to Adobe's encouraging the use of a competing product, but I do insist on the freedom to decline, and I didn't see a way of doing it.

@coal.brian - The page in my screenshot is the page you are presented with after clicking the download button from the large gray "update" dialog you were presented.  Clicking the button launches the browser, which in turn has two pages that are displayed.  The first being the one that I used in the screenshot, the second being the download page (see below)
As I mentioned in an earlier post, we've added code to the second page (download) so that if you were to go there first, we automatically redirect you back to the first page (opt out) so that you have the opportunity to decline the software option.
If anyone would like to test this out, simply restart your browser and go to this download URL (note that this is the URL from the screenshot in this post):  https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Other_Browsers& os=Windows%207&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&d=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox _Browser&dualoffer=false&type=au&browser_vers=16
If it works as designed, you will instead be silently redirected to the opt out page (see my earlier screenshot in this thread.)

  • How can I get a complete update without anny douwnload error.

    Ich habe mehrmals versucht das neue Update zu installieren, bekam aber jedes mal die Mitteilung, dass es fehlerhaft ist und ich soll es später noch einmal versuchen.

    Question:
    " I've tried several times to install the new update, but each time got the message that it is wrong and I should try again later."
    Solution:
    You can try by Downloading the Update from Prodesign Tools:
    - All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools
    * This link is for Windows, but they also have the link for Apple
    Usually the problem is caused due connection or permission problems.
    Have you tried to Update from a Administrator Account?
    Are you able to try over a different Connection (Sometimes a Firewall or other Security can interfereer with the process)
    Translation (Excuse the Grammer i Used Google Translate):
    Sie können versuchen, durch den Download der Update von Prodesign Werkzeuge:
    - All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools
    * Dieser Link ist für Windows, aber sie haben auch den Link für Apple
    In der Regel wird das Problem durch Verbindung oder permision Probleme verursacht.
    Haben Sie versucht, von einem Administrator-Konto zu aktualisieren?
    Sind Sie in der Lage, um zu versuchen über einen anderen Anschluss (Manchmal kann eine Firewall oder andere Sicherheits kann mit dem Prozess interfereer)

  • How can I force a library update without re-importing songs?

    I have thousands of MP3s that are already imported into iTunes (v5.0.1.4). Unfortunately my ID tags are far from complete and I use another software package to modify them on a regular basis. The problem is that iTunes does not recognize these changes (since I suppose it has already stored the info about the MP3 in its library during the initial import). I know I can remove the MP3 from the library and re-import it, but I really don't want to do so. Is there any other way of forcing a library update?

    OK. I just want it to read the info from my iTunes folder
    (Edit>Preferences>Advanced>iTunes Music Folder Location) and use that to update the *itl file. My current itl file is a backup from last week, but the iTunes music folder had several additions during the last few days
    However, after renaming and running:
    Script: C:\update.js
    Line: 11
    Char: 2
    Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
    Code: 800A01B6

  • How can I cancel an event update without emailing attendees?

    Hi all,
    I'm using iCal 4.04 on OS 10.6.8, and when I hit "Edit" on an event with attendees, there is no "Cancel" button. Your only two choices are "update" and if you click off the area, "edit" or "send." This happens even if there are no updates to the event (lets say you type a note, then delete the note, you're still forced to send an update).
    This is very odd behavior for OSX and something that I'm surprised to see. People make mistakes, they correct mistakes, and shouldn't have to explain to a 30 person attendee list "oops, sorry there are no edits, I just couldn't cancel this behavior."
    If someone knows of a work-around, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    I found a solution: Upgrade to Lion
    There's now a "revert" button that's long overdue. Thanks Apple!

    Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
    Adobe/Maromedia web
    site and also at Internet search engines.
    As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
    might find more
    takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

    How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

  • How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
    I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
    I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
    With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
    So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
    How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

    I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
    The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
    Before you begin, you will require the following:
    USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
    Windows 7 ISO Image file
    UNetbootin
    Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
    Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
    Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
    Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
    Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

  • How can I install english Flash Player?

    Hello,
    Today I got a message that Firefox blocked my plugins for Shockwave & Flash. I downloaded & installed Shockwave without any troubles, but when I tried to install Flash Player something was wrong with it: the installer tried to install russian version of Flash Player.
    OK, I tried to select option "Want Flash Player for another PC?" - but it had no option to chose the language - it indicated that my system is Windows 8, Firefox, English; though all the software I'm using is English localized.
    So I went to adobe.com & at the bottom of the page changed the region to United States, then I tried to download Flash Player once again. I was so happy when I saw that my system was identified as Windows 8, Firefox, English :-)
    But when the file downloaded & I ran it and - guess what? Yes, exactly - it started to install Flash Player in Russian!
    Frankly speaking I don't like Russian-localized software at all (because the translation is terribly awful), thus all the applications installed in my PC is English-localized. All but the Flash Player :-(
    So I have a question: how can I install English-localized Flash Player and prevent myself from seeing again this terrible Russian-localized one?
    PS. All my regional settings in Windows are set to English (United States), so I have no idea why the Russian player is installed...
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Eugene.

    I don't know why your post remained unnoticed & unanswered for such a long time.
    The installed Flash Player is the same for all languages, but the installer may display in a localized language; no idea why you get Russian?
    Try the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe (for Firefox).

  • How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

    My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?
