Windows 10: FireFox 67.0.1 & Flash ???

The other day FF had an update to 67.0.1. When I logged into an web site that uses Adobe Flash, FireFox said I needed a update to Flash and to get it here (A button). The button took me to the flash download web site, I proceeded to down load the installer. I then ran the installer, and it quit with an error message indicating that I needed to uninstall the current Flash pgm before installing. In my haste, I missed the the 2 little check boxes that also ended up installing MacAfee. *Shock So I fired up my trusty REVO uninstaller and proceed to get rid of "MacAfee". While there I decided to also get rid of Adobe Flash which I did. At completion, REVO said remaining files will be deleted after a re-Boot.

After re-boot, I went to where I downloaded the Flash Installer to re-run it, but it was GONE ! *Shock (looks like after quitting it deletes itself?) Went thru all of the steps above and re-downloaded the Flash Installer, but this time I unchecked the "MacAfee" software. Ran the installer again and got the same message ???*Confused

First thought was that REVO missed something - It didn't no trace of Flash except for a Flash service that remained running. I proceeded to stop that service and changed it to "never run". Re-booted and tried again. Same results as before "Flash won't install because Flash is still running".

I even manually searched for Adobe Flash and tried it again, ending with the same results !

I'm looking for ideas on why this won't install ?

PS: And YES the Flash installer always deletes itself at completion.
