Adobe Working On Automatic updater

Ryan Naraine writes in his post on ZDNet Zero Day blog that Adobe is working on automatic updater that will patch security vulnerabilities without user interaction. The updater will hit beta later this month.

Adobe security chief Brad Arkin says that tool will be configurable for end users that want more control in patching process. Users are given three ways to deal with patching: 1) to download and then give choice to install available update, 2) to notify only or 3) to turn patch updates off completely (obviously, not the most recommended option).
