    SECURITY UPDATES should have NO OTHER CONTENT other than SECURITY CONTENT !!!

    An interesting article by MVP MowGreen.


    A notice appears on your PC about an update for Adobe Flash Player. Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, doesn't inform Users why this update has come out.
    The User, thinking that it improves the Flash Player, hurries to install it, clicking quickly through the installation pages.
    When the update is done, guess what ? There's another toolbar installed to Internet Explorer !!!
    In the US, it will likely be either a Yahoo or Google tool bar.
    Lord knows which tool bar Users in other regions of the world will find installed.
