As soon as we obtain the full installer it will be posted here. We do not have it at this time.''Adobe is constantly changing the name and behavior of their spyware installer, as well as the location of downloads on their site. They do this to discourage circumvention of their spyware background installer. Links are changing faster than information can be updated here. Please post any comments about dead links or new circumvention techniques in the discussion section.Adobe changed the way Flash is installed. Now they force their download manager software on your system and use it as a medium to install Flash Player. This is very bad because their download manager runs in background memory, makes your computer slower, and opens security risks that hackers can exploit.Adobe is not a reputable trustworthy company. Ever since they have acquired ownership of the Flash player browser plugin, they have used customer dependency on updates to the plugin to get their other products onto your computer. They have even went so far as to develop a virus like application that secretly installs on your computer along with the Flash Player plugin. Due to mass criticism by industry experts and the media, Adobe has scaled back their push of [[PUP malware]] (malware type unwanted programs), namely inclusion of their [[Adobe GetPlus DLM Vulnerability]]. However, they still have PUP malware addons in the installer. The best way to install updates to Adobe Flash is to get the latest full standalone installer, which is not the small web installer on their primary download page. Once you obtain the full standalone installer, make sure you uncheck any boxes to ensure you do not add additional unwanted programs to your computer.Adobe Download Manager adds files to the operating system and poses a security risk which has been verified in the past.Obtaining the Adobe Flash Player full standalone installer is sometimes difficult. The location of it is a moving target. Adobe obfuscates information about the whereabouts of the installer. Adobe Flash can be installed without the Adobe Download Manager. However, Adobe is making it more difficult to circumvent installation of DLM. Adobe is not a very good company. We try to keep the most current circumvention method posted here.Obtaining the full installer file from a 3rd party web site other than adobe.com also has risk. Anything from a 3rd party could be modified to contain a virus or rootkit load. Here we try to keep up with where Adobe has moved the Flash standalone full installer and share that information with you, along with a link to the installer file from Adobe.com. This way you are obtaining the file you need, directly from the vender, as to minimize your risk.| * <big><big>unavailable (blocked by Adobe)</big></big>| * <big><big>[http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_15_plugin.exe Download EXE installer from Adobe.com]</big></big>
