Flash player vulnerability !

No Lifer
link - this affects the player itself which is typically a plugin to web browsers as well as a standalone on your machine. Update to version 7,0,19,0.

What version do I currently have ?

EDIT>> If the last link doesn't load any content for you other than the yellow background, it means you don't even have the older Flash 5 plugin installed on your browser. In that case, don't worry about this vulnerability (but check with all browsers installed).
 
Thanks for the sticky!

But now everyone in ATOT will just skip down ~10 threads to the first refreshing thread instead of seeing this. 😉

So true, so true.
 
Thanks here, too. 😀

In IE, it installs online. In Netscape, it gave me a file to download and run.

It will probably do the same thing in Opera. I know it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. Not sure I want to know what happens when she decides to Flash the viewers. :Q 😉
 
I'm still on version 5 but I hate upgrading because I hate some of those new ads that float around your screen!

They'll probably appear regardless. Version 5 player is very basic and if the developers were smart (and didn't need any new MX features, they would've created it to show up with even v5. Best to upgrade/patch if you already had any version.

Yeah, I know what you mean. If it wasn't for my weekly addition to Homestar Runner, I would uninstall Flash from my system completely. Those new Flash intro ads are even more annoying than pop-ups.
