Every time I do a computer restart, I get a popup advising I need to update my Adobe Flashplayer to the latest. I started to do it once not long ago, until I read the EULA, then canceled out of the "upgrade." Since then, I am unable to watch any emailed videos I receive.
The EULA, as most, is a nightmare of privacy invasions, and I think now Adobe is part of gOOgle. It would take an English major and a lawyer hours to understand what is being offered on a "Take it or Leave it."
Seems like there is less room for privacy on the net all the time. How do you feel about it?

I'm with you on that, Graybeard.
I hate these constant upgrades, and refuse to do them whenever possible.
I don't usually understand all the conditions, and I don't have hours to try to understand them.
My view is that every upgrade is an attempt by the company providing the service to "get something" else out of the deal--like your personal information, or the ability to download spyware or advertisements into your computer.
Adobe is one of the worst. So far I've been able to refuse 100% of their upgrades, and still maintain normal functioning of my computer.

Oh, part of the deal was giving them permission to record with your own computer's camera and microphone...
