got a window this morn when booting up saying an update is available for adobe flash

didnt even know I had it to be honest. How can I stop it checking which it seems to be doing itself.

Can you open anything connected with the program, settings etc.

I've never seen any settings, tbh, Baz. The Control Panel just has a remove option. IAC, most of the updates are for security reasons, so you might not want to disable them.

another thing I just noticed while looking for the above, in task manager I had an entry MSOHELP.EXE.

MS Office help yeah, but I had this open at about 9.00 this morn, closed it but its been sitting there since....whats that about

A lot of Office stuff just hangs around in memory, Baz.

As Rik says a lot of Office stuff just lurks around. Is it watching and reporting back or waiting to ponce?

Baz, Adobe Flash Player is what used to be Macromedia. It would install when you first visited a website that required it, and then it's just there, without looking like it's installed.
