Sheesh. I just reinstalled Shockwave last week for a game. I guess I will uninstall it again and reinstall when needed whenever that is since I rarely use it. ;)

Thanks for the update Nick! :)
TIP: For users who use more than one browser, just download the SLIM "Firefox" version and it installs for IE & Firefox & Opera.

Never have seen much of a use for this. At least I don't miss it as I've almost never installed it.

Partially just because it's Adobe, which leads to bloatness and flaws!! :o

Darn every time I try these adobe flash sites, IE8 freezes on the page. Just tried link & had hit the uncheck to NOT install that Google toolbar. Freeze. Had to close IE8. Been this way for me since Vista Pro 32 bit and on W 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
FlashPlayer 10 w/ ActiveX is currently installed. Happens whether or not have it installed (via some 3 party source).
No other adobe stuff, prefer Foxit Reader. Thanks.
