If Adobe won't keep direct links to the standalone Flash installers/updaters in a sensible, easy-to-find place, I will: They do provide standalone installers/updaters but they keep moving around the links (and sometimes the files themselves) in an ever-changing maze of web documents.(The installer itself will download the latest version, and doesn't include the code itself, so there is still a download manager in a way, but it's not something that plugs into your web browser for no reason, and it makes sense to ensure you're installing the latest version even if the installer itself is older.) (Seems to have stopped for Flash 11.) They try to force you to use a pointless Download Manager which itself has had security issues and which is a similar size to the actual thing it is downloading.Apparently the unwanted crapware is always included in the installer now and the filename determines whether or not it is installed. (Seems new in Flash 11.) Whether or not you clear the McAffee/Google-Toolbar checkbox, the installer you get is byte-for-byte identical, just with a different filename.
