Why do you keep putting a box that needs to be UNTICKED with all these flash player updates?
Dear Adobe
Please please please STOP putting McAffee with your very frequent flash updates - or if you do PLEASE stop making it a box that needs to be unticked.
The frequency of the updates is ridiculous - and have to be done manually whuch iis annoying enough - but if you do it fast and don't untick the box you get this unwanted software. If people are genuinely interested, they will tick the box by choice. Putting a box that you need to untick is a clear indication that you want to get people to get this in error. (Similar to the way when I registered now, I had to UNTICK a box that would have allowed you to sell my contact details to spammers!)
PS It's impossible to find a contact email address on your Customer Care Site and I have to use this form. In general this is a technique used by dishonest companies in order that customers do not have a record of their complaint in their own "sent items" from their own email account.
If you do insist on having this ridiculous number of MANUAL flash updates PLEASE STOP PUTTING IN BOXES THAT NEED TO BE UNTICKED
Yours
Shales

3. ("not in those exact words, but it is your point.") - Did you read that part? Customer service (if you contact them) will simply direct you back here. That's how it works with FREE software. If you purchase Flash Professional, which installs a "standalone" Flash Player for testing, THEN they might consider your input, but they'd be able to verify if you had Flash Pro, and if you didn't, you'd end up back here again. I've been updating and using and testing Adobe products since 2003, and those pain in the &$#* installers have been around since then, and even before. The point I made stands. It ain't gonna change.

How do we verify/validate that a Flash player update is legitimate?
Is there a method for ensuring that one down;oads and installs only legitimate Flash Player updates? For that matter, any Adobe update?

That's a loaded question simply because of the most obvious answer, which would be "Look for the Adobe® logo".
Problem is: there are THOUSANDS of fake sites and even more fake download "popups" with illegally used Adobe® logos in them.
You'll see legitimate "notifications" on booting up if there's an update available. The Adobe Application Manager and Adobe Updater use system date & time to notify you when an update is available. Reader and Flash Player have "scheduled" update implimentation coded into the install. These update notifications will happen when you're not online, and will appear on your desktop with a "charcoal & red" themed window, and in the case of Reader, a system tray icon as well.
ANY legitimate online Flash Player update notification will appear in lieu of Flash content in a reputable site (YouTube, CNN, etc.) and will contain a "hoverable" link that will show in your browser's status bar as "http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/". ANY link that points anywhere other than that should not be trusted... at all, even if it has "adobe" in the url. Many fakes will add those five letters to their fake download url to fool people. They'll also use words like "WARNING" and "BEWARE" which Adobe doesn't use.
A legitimate update doesn't need to, and WON'T, "scare you into downloading it". They also offer things like "Flash Player Pro" (which doesn't exist), or a version number that hasn't been released yet. A simple right click on ANY flash content will pop up a menu and "About Flash Player" in that menu will tell you what version you're currently running.
If you see something that doesn't look right, like "13.3.1.182" available, when you have a current version that's 13.0.0.182... don't trust it. Flash Player doesn't jump that far that fast.
That's why I say discretion is best. I know several people who will click on a link just because it pops up. A few of them are clients and it's gotten to the point that I no longer feel bad about charging them $80 for 10 minutes time to clean up a mess they've made because I've warned them repeatedly NOT TO CLICK things when they don't know what they are or where they came from or where they lead. I/T managers have to lock systems down to keep employees from doing that or they'd be fixing their systems 24/7. Not so easy with personal computers, especially if kids use them. -
Why do I keep getting the message that iTunes is quitting working? I have reinstalled iTunes and I have checked the wifi twice. I have even put the internet access cable directly into the laptop. The message says that windows will look for a solution but never offers any solution.
Try disconnect your internet, then launch iTunes.

Keep getting error message that I'm signed on with a temporary ip address or a temporary profile.
For at least 2 weeks not my HP won't give me my desktop. It comes up with a different desktop and doesn't save anything. Keep getting error message that I'm signed on with a temporary ip address or a temporary profile. I've done all I know to do and all that HP has suggested. I still get this when I shut down the computer and then turn it on again or log off or restart.
Hi,
You can try the steps from the link below:

or,
Run the microsoft Fixit

If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Can someone tell me why Apple cannot produce a Scabble game that works on Mountain Lion. So frustrated that this is not happening with all the technology available.
The only companies that can make a Scrabble game are the companies that own the rights to the game; Hasbro owns the rights in the US & Canada, Mattel owns the rights outside of the US & Canada.
You need to be speaking to those two companies. -
Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method. I have used a third party uninstall program which appeared to delete all traces of firefox including registry entries but I still have the same problem.
I am now in the position of not being able to load any version of firefox. HELPSame problem here. I installed version 4.0, then removed it and tried to install 3.6. Now no version Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

when i try to update my itunes on my pc i keep getting the messaage that there was a problem with the installer and it could not finish. how do i fix this? i`ve tried to download 3 times already.
Hi
I've got a similar problem. iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error. I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified"
Any ideas?
