FYI, I updated as well, and only received the Flash bits. Actually, there wasn't even an option for other bits. It
asked me at the end if I wanted auto, notify, or no update options but that was it. This was x86?

Adobe now includes additional warez in their updates without consent.
The warez includes a browser and tools bar. The attached image is what

+1 Adobe.
