If you install flash using Secunia it gets flash from the ftp site.

Or you can get it direct I guess.

"Garbage" after McAfee is not required, seeing as how said company has,
to the tune of 101% or greater, lacked quality for at least the past 15
years.

McAfee + garbage, or Garbage + McAfee - it's all the same.

Nor me, Norton used to be part of the Google Pack but now appears to
have been replaced by Spyware Doctor. I've come across the Norton thing
when fixing? other peoples computers and it was more trouble than it
was worth.

I really dislike these toolbars for IE, I often come across computers
with 5 or 6 of the damn things obscuring most of the screen and the
user never has a clue how they got there.

Yes, but the average unsavvy user when installing software just keeps
clicking "Next" until they reach "Finish" and ends up with all sorts of
rubbish 'extras' installed.
