Thanks for the heads up! It's been a couple of months since I updated so I figured what the heck since I updated Windows.

Got the update yesterday, but I had forgot to check for it before I made my Ghost Image.
However, Firefox will be updating soon and most likely Shockwave or Java as well. Seems you can never keep the image perfectly up to date.

Not only have they not stopped, a major version release with exactly no new features drops every other month and still manages to be one of the internet's largest security risks.

what is this flash player used for?

Crypto locker, and a bunch of other malware.

It really is sad that flash isn't dead.
It was made at the time security didn't matter that much, and the people that wrote it had the wrong mindset.

Adobe should drop flash, create something from the ground up and use that.

Every update for the past several years is just security patches. You're better off just not installing it at all.
