I don't recall seeing this.  I presume this is on Windows?  Or, Mac, too?

Java (Sun) does the same thing and actually numerous other apps. I agree, it’s a sucky practice.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

I know this isn't an AE post but I don't subscribe to any Flash lists.

 

So, the latest Flashupdate installed MacAfee Scan Plus (or some such), and I did not even notice an option to opt out. This is bad practice, Adobe (waggles finger).
