I just clicked on the 'Update Flash' window and got an updated Flash Player with 'McAfee Security Scan Plus' installed. I was never given an option to opt out of this installation.
Since this software (another virus scanner) can potentially interfere with my existing anit-virus software and such a configuration is not recommended by the installed virus software's creator, I will be reporting this malware install to the FTC via the http://www.ftc.gov/compliant site.
I recommend anyone else who doesn't want McAfee possibly interfering with existing virus software to do the same.

Excellent advice! McAfee Security Scan is definitely adware and I'm going to report it to Spybot and adaware.com too!

Totally agree. There was no choice about installing either McAfee or True Key. And it's very difficult to find out how to uninstall True Key. Shame on you Adobe!
