Upgrading Adobe Flash Player installed Google Toolbar without asking

9 pointssamwyse3 comments

A few moments ago, I was prompted to upgrade to Adobe Flash Player 11.6.602.168. I accepted, and IE 8 was launched to this URL: https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/activex/ . The web page makes no mention of installing Google Toolbar, although it does ask if I want to install Chrome. Adobe's download manager then downloaded and installed both Flash Player and Google Toolbar (I already had Chrome installed). Has anyone else noticed this? BTW, here's the web page as presented to me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/01vgfb05ypap2dg/AdobeFlashUpgradePage.PNG
