Hello SafeSurf,
Yeah I understand that developers always wants to try new software test it and such such. The only reason I have is that why would it show up in Avast Software Updater since users like me are home users... Avast Software Updater doesn't give me any issues about flash developer program, adobe, and etc etc and it only gives me developers tools for Java update in Avast Software Updater other than that all other programs listed in my Avast Software Updater is A+ if there's an update for like flash or adobe via Avast software updater it straights away direct me to the official download site of that program or even if I don't want to do that I can simply use the program's updater to update to the next major release version of that particular program whether it is flash, adobe reader, or etc.
I use to check for updates for Java via Java updater from control panel if there's an update i simply update it through there. I sometimes even use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall previous version of program such as adobe reader and etc and go to the official website of that program to download the latest version. I don't have any program's unisntaller tool. The only uninstaller tool i use is for avast if only something goes wrong.
