The Alternative Flash Player Auto-Updater gives users a cleaner and more reliable update utility compared to what is offered by Adobe. It is easy to install, requires very little system resources, and it automatically checks for updates every few minutes.
I found that my Internet connection would freeze from time to time if I had the Adobe version running in the background. The default updater also caused the installation to crash before the download was complete more than once. This great little utility eliminates all of these problems, and I am perfectly happy with the results.
Flash updates are released frequently, and it is essential to always make sure the latest version is installed for safety and security purposes. However, the regular updater from Adobe is just too much trouble. I actually disabled it months ago and tried to remember to check for updates every few days. I'm very happy that this utility is available, and now I don't have to worry about being vulnerable to hacks and attacks if I forget to check myself.
The program runs quietly in the background, and I can open the menu and perform a status check at any time. There is a color-coded message system that indicates whether my system is up to date or not, and I can install the latest files automatically or by simply pushing a button on the main screen. This software is fast, minimally invasive and doesn't get in the way of anything else that I may be doing on the computer.
It is also stable and secure. It does not conflict with my anti-virus software, and I do not have to deal with annoying advertisements or prompts to install additional tools or programs that I don't want. This is one of the most practical and useful utilities that I have downloaded in a long time. The folks at Adobe should consider replacing their updater with this cool little program.
