i just want to ask, have others had that small issue, flash update is on manual not automatic, i mean automatic is off, but sometimes it updates automatically while i'm watching video, its just suddenly video starts to lag & then i go out open TaskManager & what i see? i see both old & new version of flash running & that cause other issue, in plugins i also see both versions (its caused by A-update while watching video), so i reinstalled flash to get rid of the older ver, & then sometimes i get flash update with Win Update not just flash security update for IE, & sometimes i have to do it manually, is it normal? i mean do all fox users have that small issue?

Hmm, by default, the Flash plugin installer sets up a task to check for updates when you start Windows. You can set that to install automatically or to notify you that an update is available. Is that the one you disabled? If that's disabled, all bets are off. ;-)

for me default was update manual, when i look at it from Services, but for some reason time to time flash updates automatically while i'm watching video, its not often, but it has happened twice this year
