If you feel like you just updated Adobe Flash Player a few days ago, you are right. Although a critical security update was released last Thursday, yet another update was released today. The updates released are not only for Adobe Flash Player but also Adobe AIR and Adobe Shockwave Player.

Thanks Corrine! Do you also have links to the direct downloads for Macs as well?

[zlim]

Thanks Corrine. I'm off to update the XP and 7 computers.

 

I think this rash of flash updates might force my hubby to use the XP computer and I can finally pry the 2K one away from him.

 

He gets popups when he tries to view something (like a Jacquie Lawson card from me). He knows that he is stuck at FF v12 and also can't update flash because if he tries it will fail so he turns on the updated XP computer and has no problem. YES!

A critical security update for Adobe Flash Player was released today -- just two weeks after the last critical update.

[therock247uk]

these updates keep coming!!

[Guest LilBambi]

Well, better they keep coming than the plugins put us at risk...

[therock247uk]

true

[crp]

Thing is, users think it is a bug in the update program and ignore it.

[therock247uk]

yep :/

[Guest LilBambi]

Well, if they don't keep up with them, they will get the same debacle that Oracle is going through right now.

 

They know how that feels. They have been there before a few years back, and I really don't think they want to go there again...

[zlim]

I update flash on XP and 7 within a few hours of Corrine's posts.

 

My hubby is now using the XP computer a lot more since I explained to him the popups on his 2K about flash needing to be updated can not be fixed. (He doesn't wander too far that's why I was not too worried about him getting malware). The 2K computer is stuck at 11.1. something. My 2K computer does not go out into the world.

I think I can finally move his 2K computer to the other end of the basement. He can still do work on it, he just won't be connected.

/me scans for new updates daily using windows update and file hippos update checker i have to install at least 1 or 2 updates per day for programs.

Got my new Adobe Flash and Air

[V.T. Eric Layton]

*sigh*

 

I'm getting so I hate Flash.

[Guest LilBambi]

Only now?

[V.T. Eric Layton]

I'm a late starter.

[Corrine]

Unless there is an out-of-band update, at least we can now plan on Flash updates on the 2nd Tuesday of the month along with the Microsoft Security updates.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Oooh boy! Flash-in-the-pan Tuesdays, huh?
