Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe. Trash the Flash Player,pliugin and flashplayer.xpt files from there.

Then, go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins. It wouldn't affect you because you have a Mac, and your updater links to a different page.įirst, trash ALL of the Flash Player DMGs on your desktop. The end user had to initiate the download that contained the unwanted add-inĢ. The only possible exception to this rule (and even this is a long shot) is certain Windows updaters that will download McAfee Security Scan along with the requested update, and there's no opt out. That's for Reader, Flash Player, Shockwave, AIR, and ANY paid software, such as Creative Suites.ĪNY legitimate Adobe download will only be started by a notification appearing that the download is available, and then you must click a link to either begin the download, or go to the page containing the download, and click a link there.

It is and always has been a 'user initiated' process. Adobe does not, and never has, automatically downloaded installation files, for any product.
