Updating Adobe Flash the best way possible

Keeping your flash player update is very important, if you have the latest version of flash if can auto update, but it can be very slow to alert you about this, by the time it does you could be infected. Sure you could just go to the source  get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ but because the install Mcafee Security Scan Plus is checked, most users don't notice this, and install a very unneeded program, heck even if you don't have any anti-virus , it would make any difference installing Mcafee as it doesn't detected or stop most of the malware out there. So I did some digging and this is the best way to make sure your flash is updated, ASAP!. First thing to do is go HERE , looking at step one will show you a animation of text scrolling say that flash is running on you system , and a ball going by. Step two shows your flash version and your web browser and the system your running. Step three shows you the version of windows , mac & others, and the browsers and what's the latest version of flash player from adobe you should have, now if the version that's shown  in step one with the arrow pointed to it is not the same shown as in step three, then you wanted to update your flash player! now ignore the rest of the steps on that page, and then go HERE under downloads if all you use is Internet Explorer then choose to download either EXE or MSI and then you from there download and run the update to adobe flash player, with out even worry to install the Mcafee security scan plus. now even if you don't use Internet Explorer download and install this update anyways, you never know. now if you use Firefox, or some other browser, (don't worry about google chrome, it uses it own flash player) under the list Plugin-based browsers, choose to download and run either EXE or MSI. For your Mac yours you do the same, but choose Mac OS X (Intel) and download and run the DMG installer. Well I hope this helps.
