I checked my plugins for firefox and it recomends I download version 14.0.0.149 shockwav which includes macafee security that I don't want, how do I avoid this?
I checked my plug ins to find that shockwave flash version 14.0.0.145 should be updated by version 14.0.0.149. That download comes with some macafee download (antiviral I think). I have had trouble with macafee in the past and do no0t want it. Is there a way around this hitchhiker? Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this and especially to those who have some help.

hello fixercqi, this mcafee tool is an optional bundle - you can (&should) uncheck it at the flash download page: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

Thanks for your help. I have learned to go to the Adobe site and pick out only what I need, instead of following the suggested path in "plugin checker". It led me to a download which was hiding the Macafee download, which only becomes apparent when you click "download". You can then only stop it by clicking the "stop download" button, if you are quick enough. I'm just an average Joe user and I don't think I could manage this computer without the help of people like your selves. If there was some way for me to help you fix something I would, but alas, you have given your time without the expectation of reciprocation. True kindness! Fixercqi...
