Finally, Adobe Flash will update automatically

One of the more popular calls/texts I get is about Adobe Flash.  When a new update is ready, a pop-up window flashes and asks to update.  Most casual users have no idea what Flash is, and more importantly, that it needs to be kept up to date.  Most of my questions are, "is this update safe?"  Given that many malware attacks come in the form of pop-ups, I understand the skepticism of users to click OK.  Adobe seems to recognize this skepticism as well and is introducing a new way to update Flash...automatically.

Adobe has released a long-awaited update to its Flash Player that allows users to apply security patches with no prodding.  Check out the screenshot below:

Choose the default setting and no more problems.  Adobe stays updated without confusing users.
