Just a warning to users who update their Adobe Shockwave. Symantec
has a new agreement to piggy-back their software into the download.
From Adobe's website:
How is Norton Security Scan from Symantec connected to Shockwave Player?
As part of a recent distribution agreement with Symantec,
Adobe will offer its customers the option to install the free
Norton Security Scan software as part of the Shockwave Player
installation process. Only customers who accept the Norton Security
Scan offer will download the Norton Security Scan software.
Those who decline the offer will download and install only Shockwave
Player. Norton Security Scan is only offered to users who have either
already downloaded the Google Toolbar or who are not eligible to
receive the Google Toolbar offer
So be careful or you'll get more than just Shockwave Player. It wasn't
enough to piggy-back Google Toolbar, now you've got another unrelated
app to dodge.
