    * Please deselect any third party offerings such as Google Chrome | Google Toolbar.

    Post installation advanced users may want to disable MSCONFIG item:
    AdobeARM.exe. This is a user choice selection.

    Thanks for the heads-up guys!

    There is a little weird version numbering on the full install file AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe for Adobe Reader. (from the ftp site; no, I give no link; that's not allowed). On the properties tab it says version 11.0.3.37 (see screenshot); well, that was the previous version. Anyhow, after installing Adobe Reader says it actually is version 11.0.04, so I guess it is just a little glitch.

    Don't forget that if you don't want to go online to check you can go into Flash Player in your PC Control Panel and click on the advanced tab. Your Flash version is listed there.

    Flash 12.x Real security fixes or 'bug reports' ?

    I wonder if the file size of this version is even bigger than version 11.
