I had to upgrade FLASH so it would work on some sites.

The UPDATE installed McAfee without my consent!

I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE ON MY SYSTEM!!!

There is NO solution to this except to UNINSTALL the #$%! thing.

This is just a warning to those upgrading their FLASH.

There's a lot of us that wonder the same thing. Just look forward to the day that HTML5 video takes over and Flash slowly withers away and dies. It's near the top of my spit list - yep, I meant to say spit - people or things whose grave I want to spit on as a parting gesture.

BTW, take a look at this 2nd Adobe Flash download page where the pre-selected option is Google Chrome.

Then you need to go into the REGISTRY and delete all the MCAFEE CRAP that the UNINSTALL did not remove.

They you should run a REGISTRY fixer application to fix all the loose ends.

GARRRGH, GAK, GAK, ACK!

Like coughing up a HAIRBALL! I HATE WINDOZE!!!

You missed the pre-selected option = "Yes, install McAfee Security Scan Plus - optional"

See the screenshot below.

There was NO pe-selection answer. There was a download button then you run the applet.

That "preselected option" part of that download dialog is sometimes very slow to appear, so you may have hit the "Download Now" button before it was loaded.

I honestly think Adobe or McAfee purposely delays that message to trick impatient users into downloading that garbage.

Regardless of why or how Adobe did that, it isn't caused by Mozilla or by Firefox.

I realize that it is ADOBE that is sticking it to us.

But I just wanted people using FireFox to know about it.

P.S. It could also have been off the bottom of my screen.

So be careful and scroll all the way thru the page to the bottom and select NO!

I don't see why THEY want to download something that has nothing to do with FLASH? But I KILLED it - uninstalled & pulled all the CRAP left in the REGISTRY!
