I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
I updated Adobe flash it informed me automatically it had an update. then with the update came bundled "Safe Key" and McAfee antivirus, neither of which I wanted or needed. I'm already running Panda anti virus and I paid for it so a second antivirus is a no no.
what mostly annoyed me sad to say is that there wan't a custom or advanced install so I could have eliminated the installation as is the usual protocol for bundled software installations.
I'm a 30 plus years on the computer now and broker free to use and free to keep software, you can contact me any time via my email.
Further more why do I need Adobe flash or is it priority software that is important to my windows 10 system. If I knew it's additional and not necessary I'd eliminated it altogether.
lastly
if it's the default streaming player and totally necessary to stream videos etc then why would they stoop so low as to add bundle ware without the option to back out of this blatant regard for people computer setups and choice of software they run. in the uninstall feedback comments I wrote this to them to show my dismay in the hope they stick to given installations protocol in the future.

you could improve by letting people choose what they want to install or not that's standard internet protocol, you seem to have forgotten and fyi yes i'm yelling it to you you can pay me two hours of my time @ $140.00 new zealand dollars for the hassle of removing your aggressive installation.
or suffer a court sue just pay it into my account kiwi saver bank new Zealand as follows - 38-XXXX-XXXXX18-00 r f van der Kleij - they have the real account number
or be sued for an amount of not more than one billion pound sterling through the international courts.
i keep a copy of all my hard earned work
