April 19, a. This notice is in fact from a legitimate Flash update, but how can you tell? Do not trust it Immediately be skeptical of any automatic software update, especially those for Flash or Reader. Instead of accepting it and downloading the update, check the interface for any apparent typos or grammar errors, and if found, then close it down. Additionally, check online by simply doing a Google search or more accurately visiting Adobe's support site to see if any updates have been recently issued.
Right-click the Flash installer package in the Dock, and reveal it in the Finder to see if it is in your user account or in a location that would first require authentication before the program could be placed there.
To see if this program is what is running, right-click the installer icon in the Dock and select the option to show it in the Finder. If the program is in your downloads folder, or somewhere in your user account, then do not trust it and throw it out.
Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. This is not quite true. It's possible but troublesome to download updates manually from the Microsoft Catalog to your D drive or thumb drive and run them from there.
I updated to version by downloading the install file from microsoft. I have had to manually do updates since the updates, because they are huge. I get a storage error on my Win10 bit system and discover thousand files have been downloaded to my TEMP folder on the C drive, filling it! Yes I can delete them Disk Cleaner has a 7-day delay so it probably has to be done manually But that doesn't solve the problem - it will just download them again until the update is completed, which it never does.
If that wan't bad enough, I have this problem again but there is NO update listed that matches my system. KB is for x64 Windows Server systems - which mine is not. So is there anyone who can tell me either how to download updates to my D drive or how to stop Microsoft Update from filling up my drive without checking for space first!
