Adobe Updates?
1 Answers
An Adobe Window appeared asking if I want updates, so I assumed that I did, and a couple of dozen `updates` appeared and I don`t know what they are about, and so I scrolled down to where `Adobe Media Player` appeared and clicked on that and a uploading bar uploaded that I hope was the correct thing to do. All very confusing to an old man like myself with only A/B techies to help me. Well it got too much for me so I clicked quit. Did I do right? TIA.

Adobe make a whole range of products, and you are likely to have at least 3 on your computer - Flash, Shockwave and Reader. They are all free.
If you get a window asking you to update these then it is fine to go ahead.
I had never heard of Adobe Media Player and I have never had that installed. Assuming you already have it installed then it is ok to install updates.
What other Adobe products you have I dont know - I know they had Adobe Air so you may have that.
Generally it is fine to let Adobe download and install all these updates. Some of them may be to fix security holes so it is best to have them installed.
Note: I have seen examples of "fake" downloads of Adobe Flash. Some web sites "pretend" they are going to download Adobe Flash but instead download a virus. The window looks rather amateurish so if you get that cancel it.
If you get the proper Adobe window again just let Adobe go ahead and install the updates.
