Done! (Man, that was fast...)
You know, there's no reason that Adobe couldn't have a ton of experimental versions with known exploits laying around, specifically to let people take over your computer. Not saying they would! But there's no reason they couldn't, and it would look like an innocent mistake on their part Like a poison in two parts, where either alone is innocuous.

flash updater script
keep updated always
just un compress it then
and click on flash-updater
it asks if you want to install click ok
it take a few minutes because it downloads the file then installs it in the background
when its done a box pops up for 3 seconds and says its done
hope this makes it easier

Didn't download the latest version, it redownloaded 10.3.183.7 so maybe the site just doesn't update flash all that quick. Also it might be a good idea to
or whatever the command would be since it does no good in there anyway and just takes up space.

?! You'll want to explain that one, most of the time (in other distros, for example) you probably would not want to do that...

perhaps Code: | rm -fr ../plugins/usr | just to be sure? that way if you're not in the right folder, it (probably) won't delete anything

I suppose but if you take a look at the script it already changes to that directory so that it can download and install the lib in there and then delete the tar'd file so there should be no need for writing out the whole path though it couldn't hurt
Edit: just modified the script and tested adding in underneath line 13 does the trick
