Choose "Save File" and then in the next dialog box select a location to save the file.  Just save it where you can find it.  A good choice is your downloads directory ( c:\internet\download ) for example.

Be patient.  If you have a slow Internet connection "such as Hughes.Net" it may take from 10 to 20 minutes or more for the installer to download.

<big><big>Step 2. Run the Flash Installer</big></big>

Open the folder where you downloaded the installer file to.  Look for:
* flashplayer18_0r0_203_win.exe

Close all your web browser windows before you run the installer. 

Click the file to start installation

<big><big>Step 3. Tell Adobe Flash NOT TO AUTO INSTALL UPDATES</big></big>

This is to avoid any PUP grayware. PUP (potentially unwanted program) software and toolbars are sometimes included with versions of Adobe Flash.  By telling Adobe you want to manually install updates, you have an opportunity to opt-out of any future PUP malware that they attach, including their GetPlus.

<big><big>Step 4. Restart Windows</big></big>

It isn't always necessary to restart windows after installing an update like this, however, it is good practice.  After reboot when you log into windows you should not be prompted to update Flash if you successfully installed the latest version.
