It would help if Adobe had an update system that was simple and efficient. They don't, so it is useless to allow Flash to update through a link. Instead, I usually download the updater and run it separately.

But I was in a trusting mood when I saw the warning, and clicked on the link. Sure enough, Adobe installed an addon ("Adobe Download Manager") which would occasionally try to load a window and attempt to download something. It was never successful at actually updating Flash. It was very successful at being a pain in the behind. I killed the addon, went to the Adobe site and downloaded the updater, like I should have done in the first place.

Simple and efficient Adobe. Having to install addons is neither. You shouldn't be surprised or disappointed when people refuse to do it.
