Macromedia

used to own Flash, Adobe bought it from them.

Using Internet Explorer, go to Adobe.com and get it there. Like Quills said, it's a plug in. I'm personally not too fond of any Adobe stuff - even tho I use it. They always seem to have security vulnerabilities in Flash and Flash is in almost every program they have, I had to snort thru the site to update my new installs of Adobe programs.

I only use it in IE not Firefox and I don't use Shockwave. At all.

That way when I use Firefox, I never see those annoying floating ads or the moving ads. I also use AdBlock Pro addon in Firefox...
