Flash Player Update

Re: Flash Player 10

Lets see now I've got:

Adobe Flash Player Active X 10

Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5

Adobe Reader 9.1.3

Adobe Air

(What do I need the Plug In For ?)
 
Adobe has released Version 10.1.53.64 of the Flash Player plugin for browsers. This is a major update which contains performance and video improvements, multi-touch enhancements and adherence to browser privacy mode settings.
 
Thanks a bunch Kemical! Upgrading now...

EDIT -

Installed and all I can say is awesome! My machine plays 1080p no problem in PowerDVD and MCE but never would in Flash.

I read something previously on Adobe's site that my HD 3850 AGP card wasn't supported by the plugin at that resolution - Obviously, that's why it wasn't working well - a software issue.

Now after upgrading, 1080p in Flash is smooth as can be. Thanks again for the post.

Adobe has released an update to Flash Player to close a zero day vulnerability. The "univeral" cross-site scripting flaw could, said Adobe, be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any web site or web mail provider once the user had visited a malicious site. The flaw is reportedly already being exploited in "active targeted attacks" with malicious links being delivered by email.

Adobe does not give any more details of the flaw, but it affects version 10.3.181.16 and earlier versions of Flash Player for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris and 10.3.185.22 and earlier versions on Android. Adobe recommends that users update to the latest versions of the player, specifically 10.3.181.22 for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris, 10.3.181.23 for ActiveX. Users who are unsure what version of Flash they have installed should refer to this page. The latest versions of Flash Player are also available on get.adobe.com/flashplayer

Google has also released an update which incorporates the fixes to the Flash player. These updates for the stable version of Chrome brings it up to version 11.0.696.77. The update should download automatically and be installed when the browser is next restarted. Otherwise, users can force the update by selecting "About Google Chrome" under the "Wrench" icon and selecting "Update Now". Google has also updated the beta and dev versions of the browser.

There is currently no update available in the Android Market for the Android version of Flash Player. Adobe is also investigating whether Acrobat Reader and its embedded Flash Player are vulnerable.
