iTunes - Tip to clean up missing songs
After consolidating your iTunes library you may find that many of the songs had the little exclamation mark icon that means "this file is not where it was when it was added to the library" because you'd made changes to your music folder for organization purposes. But iTunes offers no easy way to get rid of the files that have those errors.
To get rid of them edit all of the music files (select all in the music tab) in the Comment tag to "I exist." Then I made a custom playlist that found songs that did NOT have "I exist" as their comment. This created a list that contained all the missing files (because you can't change tags on files that don't exist). I selected all and shift+delete and deleted them from the library.
No more missing files.

Adobe Flash Update Automatically Installs McAfee Security Scan Plus
The Adobe updater periodically phones home and checks for software updates. The most recent Flash update also installs, by default, McAfee Security Scan Plus.
During the install you have the option not to install it but you have to select it manually.
McAfee Security Scan Plus isn’t good security software – it’s a marketing tool from MacAfee who want you to purchase their software, and should be considered AdWare.
