Adobe Flash player 10.x and Reader 9.x are registering as a security threat

I have Secunia PSI and I'm getting a message that the FP and Reader are unpatched security risks. When I try the "solution," I am directed to the Adobe install page. After completing what is directed, to reinstall the products, there has been no relief. Has anyone found security issues with these products, recently?

what modules are listed as insecure?
did you uninstall FP 9 before installing FP 10?
what version of FP 10 have you installed?

Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin

Windows 7 64bit / IE8
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
Thanks.

These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.

Why does Adobe Flash Player keep crashing and then apparently uninstalling itself?

why does Adobe Flash Player keep crashing and then apparently uninstalling itself? Is this not clear enough?

From System Preferences > Preference Pane click on FlashPlayer > Storage and see what you have selected for options.

"Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened

The subject line of this discussion is what is displayed when I go to try to install Adobe Flash. I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3. I had Flash downloaded for a while, but the last update wouldn't update. It would download, but then when I went to open it it would say "Retrieving Install" and the meter would remain at 0%. It never went a step beyond that. After trying many times, per the instructions of the website, I deleted Flash from my computer using the Adobe uninstaller downloaded from this site. Now that I am trying to reinstall Flash I keep getting the message "'Install Adobe Flash Player' is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image". What should I do from here? I would appreciate any help!

You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
In order to do a complete uninstall - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS

Adobe flash player 10 .01 and Adobe flash player 10.32 for Firefox

I was told to download the latest version of Adobe flash I believe, that was 10.32, because now I have delete it. Both players, because I couldn't get it to install. I have shut down the manager on Firefox version on 3.5 I really would like to know before I download anything else, which ones to my supposed to have been exposed to have both of them running on Windows XP home edition service pack three and Internet Explorer seven, because I didn't think I needed to upgrade that to eight, it probably just be more headaches. I don't know, I just mean is that anybody have any ideas let me know.
One thing I have that is the problems with my

Adobe Flash Player, Google Chrome and Deskjet F4440

Every time that I attempt to open my HP Deskjet F4440, a dialog box opens stating that I cannot open the program unless I download Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer. First of all, I don't use Internet Explorer and, secondly, when I was last prompted to do the same action for another program on my computer, I followed the prompt. However, when I did do as instructed, I began to have problems with my default browser, Google Chrome (OS: Windows 7). Chrome crashed repeatedly, and after many tries to troubleshoot it, I decided the course of action was to uninstall and re-install Chrome. It has been working without crashing for a week. Now I am once again receiving the same message to download Flash Player even though I had already done so previously. I cannot use my All-in-One Printer for a scanning project and I'm extremely frustrated. Upgrading the unit did nothing to resolve this issue. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi @rnkh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that every time that you attempt to open your HP Deskjet F4440, a dialog box opens stating that I cannot open the program unless I download Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer, and that you cannot scan. I am happy to help!
It is possible there could be a software conflict with Adobe. In order to know for sure I would suggest the following:
Uninstall the printer software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
If that does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend contacting Adobe Support.
Hope this information helps!

Adobe Flash Player causing IE and Chrome to crash when on ESPN

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 Sony Vaio that I just purchased. Everything seems to be working ok, except when I go to ESPN. When I have Flash Player enabled, Internet Explorer and Chrome both stop working and crash unless I leave the page. When I have uninstalled Flash player or disabled it, I do not have the problem (but I can't view Flash movies on any website). Adobe Flash Player works fine on other websites on all browsers, its just this particular website on all browsers. I think the problem is with Flash or involves a virus/malware. I have MacAfee and nothing is coming up. I read about a Host file issues in other threads but don't know enough about fixing that myself (if that is indeed the problem). Does anyone have any suggestions? If if it involves a virus, can someone suggest a program to fix the problem?

Another suggestion is to downgrade Flash Player to 10.3 and see if it still crash or not. I noted how to uninstall current version and install older version in the other thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/922257?tstart=30
Let us know if older version work fine or stil crash. There is different code path between 10.3 and 11 so there might be chance that older one won't crash. I hope you can enjoy ESPN soon.

Iweb 08: adobe flash player error messages and crashing when saving

Hi.   I switched not too long ago from an 08 Imac to a mid 2011 with Mountain Lion.    I brought the applications I could from the other computer, including Iweb 08.
today was the first time I tried to tweak my site with it. I opened the old file on the new computer using this method:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Transfer_Site.html
All seemed well at first. Then I got a slew of error messages to the effect of "Adobe® Flash® Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network: blah blah is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled loaction: blah blah blah".
My site is used to display my work in the video production field, so it's related to the various players/videos embedded.
In addition, when I tried to save after opening that first time, and any time, since, it crashes during the save.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Here're two of the pages on my site that were making iweb go nuts:
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_ENG_Interviews.html
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_Commercial.html
Thanks.

Whether or not you use iWeb, you may be aware that things have changed. Since you're a professional, I assume the trade must have talked about it.
I'm not a professional, but I have read about it for the past few years.
Adobe Flash is on it's way out. Especially on Mobile devices, such as my iPad, where your movies do not display.
Here's how I do it.
It started with this in Flash :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/rolando/
Then made this with the <embed> code 4 years ago :
http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/ImageWidget/ClickMovie.html
And in a similar style, made for iPad :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/cultureclub/Movies.html
Then HTML5 came along and made a sample with custom code to explain it :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5Video.html
And with code from the Interwebs :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5_Zencoder.html
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/
And regarding the Adobe messages? It's not particular to your situation. It's a warning that you try to use Flash outside the protected area of a website.
You can either ignore it, or prevent it by making separate webpages for each flash video and then display them with an iframe in the HTML Snippet. The HTML5 demos above do that.
So the magic word is : Educate.

Internet Explorer thinks Adobe flash player is unsafe and will not download

Hi,
I am using I.E. 9 and Windows 7 64 bit os. Everytime I try to download the Adobe flash player, I.E. will stop it and say it's been reported as unsafe. Any way around this? Thanks for any help you can provide!

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.
