Don't add third party patches to your Abode or your service warrant will be invalid.

Beware. I just updated flash player and it installs the Google toolbar without your permission. It never asks. Its an automatic install, it doesn't download, flash player just installs and never gives you a choice for the Google toolbar.

You must be vision impaired or have troubles reading. Of course you can opt out of it.
