Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Air Security Updates

AdobeIcon Adobe released updates to both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR to correct a critical vulnerability in both products.

From the Adobe Security Bulletin:

"Adobe Flash Player
Adobe recommends all users of Adobe Flash Player 10.0.42.34 and earlier versions upgrade to the newest version 10.0.45.2 by downloading it from the Adobe Flash Player Download Center or by using the auto-update mechanism within the product when prompted.

Adobe AIR
Adobe recommends all users of Adobe AIR version 1.5.3.9120 and earlier update to the newest version 1.5.3.9130 by downloading it from the Adobe AIR Download Center."

It is necessary to obtain the correct Adobe Flash Player for your browser. Do not confuse it with shockwave which is a different program. The direct download links are as follows:

Firefox, Safari, Opera: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

Internet Explorer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

The uninstaller for old versions of Adobe Flash Player is available from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html


Note:
Please remember to uncheck any unwanted 3rd party toolbars/programs during installation IF they are offered to you.
