Thanks again. How many 'offers' do we need to watch for this time?

Seems like it's taking more time to opt out than it does to get the product. But then maybe that's the way it's designed.

THANKS Dick for the reminder about the the check boxes.  ALF60

Once burned, twice shy

not quite shy enough. Ran SAS and found that I had acquired a new batch of PUPs

Seems you just can't surf without two or three layers of protection [ever see a desktop in a condum?]

Now get that graphic out of your head quickly

thanks
I download the adobe flash player installer directly.
I use the flash player for active X link since I iuse Vista 32 bit OS
in the past the would be an active x link for 32 bit and a seperate one for 64 bit. But I do not see two seperate links now.
Anyone else notice that?
page with the link is
helpx. adobe.com /content/help/en/ flash-player/ kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows-html
(I broke up the address to keep it safe

Hi Calls I just checked the adobe download site for flash player and it seems to be  only available only in one type for both 32 bit and 64 bit. I did notice this morning when I downloaded from majorgeeks .com that the size of the download was about 9 mb that may be the reason for the larger download size

Flash has released a 64 bit flash player since 11.0.1.152.   The installer includes BOTH the 64 & normal 32 bit versions.

Important heads up: the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (version 11.3.300.257) is causing Firefox 13 (specifically the plugin-container process) to crash. This is due to the new Protection Mode Adobe has implemented in the latest version. Information and workarounds are over here - I have deinstalled Flash Player altogether until a fixed version is released (just disabling it doesn't seem to help):

Do NOT downgrade to a previous version of Flash Player because previous versions contain security holes!

Hi Yaso_Kuuhl  THANKS for the info about the plugin crash in firefox I did have this problem and noted the work around for now I will  just use internet explorer till a fix is realsed.

Thanks Yaso_Kuuhl,
