To avoid the [[Adobe GetPlus DLM Vulnerability]], you must be careful how you install or update the Adoble Flash Player plugin. Steps to avoid this spyware is covered on the [[Adobe GetPlus DLM Vulnerability]] page. Adobe still uses an automatic update (2015) which although is not GetPlus, it is capable of adding [[PUP]] malware addons in the future if Adobe Corp so chooses to do that to your computer. Keep in mind that they installed the GetPlus malware on thousands of customer computers without warning. For this reason we recommend you disable automatic updates from Adobe and manually install each Flash update using the full Adobe installer. === Full Installer vs Online Installer === The regular installer on their customer website uses a small program to pull Adobe Flash from over the Internet during installation. It is preferable to use a traditional full installer which can be downloaded in its entirety for installation. The full installer, once downloaded, does not require an active Internet connection to update Flash player, and can be stored on removable storage for use installing on other computers which may not have an Internet connection. Rather than using the Adobe installer, it is recommended you use the '''[[Adobe Flash Player Full Installer]]'''. Each time you install or update [[Adobe Flash Player]] with the full installer, you need to remember to Tell Adobe Flash '''NOT TO AUTO INSTALL UPDATES'''. You will note that this is step #3 in the [[Adobe Flash Player Full Installer]] guide. If you accidentally skip step #3 you can always go to the Global Settings of Flash Player and change the option, ''see below''. === How to disable Automatic Updates === {{:Adobe Flash Player- How to disable Automatic Updates}}== Install / Update Adobe Flash ==Mozilla Firefox users on Microsoft Windows should use the [[Adobe Flash Player Full Installer]]. For Linux users [[Install Update Flash Plugin Ubuntu]] demonstrates the process for Debian based distributions.See also: All pages relating to [http://wiki.robotz.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=Adobe+Flash&go=Go Adobe Flash Player][[Category:Security]]
