lets face it, most of adobe's products are just electronic litter

I went to the adobe website (in Firefox 3.6) - saw my Flash was outdated, when to the flash link (win 7 x64 edition) - and it installs the GetRPlus Helper which promptly crashes.

Utter utter crap.

As a Windows user (gaming rig) I fixed my issues with the resource hogging advertisment platform known as Flash by uninstalling Flash, Air and any other of their crap.
Under Linux I love the Firefox add on noflash because you can click on a flash link if you want to watch it such as youtube.
