Shockwave Player updates, gives 2 options, full or slim - nothing explains the difference How do I know what to use

McAfee program searches for programs that are susceptible to malware and automatically searched for updates and installs them. For some Reason, when it comes to Adobe products it requires myself to have to perform a manual update.  
When I followed the link McAfee provides to the Adobe website and follow the steps to install the update....at one point it give you and option of an update that as the word "Full" in the middle of the Update Choice, and the 2nd option is exactly the same except instead of the word "Full", it has the word "Slim".
Nowhere (FAQs, etc) can I find the difference between the two, so how do I know which I need?
I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 8.1 operating system.  
8GB Ram  and I think its one of those Quad Drive things
1 TB Memory
I use Firefox as my internet operating system.  
I started with Internet Explorer, but a problem existed that had something to do with that program not being loaded properly initially,
I tried to Get Microsoft Help but they wanted $149 to fix it, So I abandoned use of Internet Explorer and loaded Fire Fox.
I will note, I don't know if its germane or note,  Since switching to Fire Fox,   my system stalls quite frequently and I get a popup that says something about a Flash Program (maybe shockwave flash) and it states it is not responding.  It gives me the option to continue or cancel and a check box to not ask me again.   Though I select that check box I do get asked often.
When this Popup occurs, I can't use any of the internet windows I have open or any of the internet window Tabs I have open.  It also seems to affect the one game I play (Spider) and it stalls that game also.  I sense it has something to do with anything that has pictures on it possibly.  After several minutes 3 to 5 plus it seems to recover
I'm sorry I am not real computer literate
Thank you for any help you can provide
Keith
PS  All I am trying to do is get hold of Adobe to ask about their program, why I have to do all this registering and go into a Forum or Community (whatever those are) is confusing to me.

The Full version includes all xtras and the Slim version just the bare essentials. I would recommend using the full version as your experience of using the plugin will be more seamless (no pausing while required xtras are downloaded on demand)
