Flash Player 11 Update for Windows Vista

I have automatic updates set up on my HP, which runs Windows Vista.  When the auto-update came up, my McAfee anti-spyware also came up, asking if I wanted to run it [because it wasn't sure about it, I guess].
I said yes, clicked yes for the update (I believe it's for Flash Player 11) and as soon as it finished installation, McAfee told me it had found & deleted a trojan.
And then something for "Microsoft Vista Antispyware 2012" came up, which I know is an actual virus.
Has anyone else had this problem on a PC? Was it coincidence that it happened with the Flash update or was it attached to Flash?

Looking at the Adobe site, it looks like Flash Player 11 auto-update was incompatible with Vista. Which doesn't explain where the virus came from or why McAfee acted up.
Yes, the 64-bit installer only works with Windows 7.
The 64-bit Active X Flash Player needs to be removed and the 32-bit Flash Player for other browsers installed.

    Hi Mark,
    before you can Install Flash Player 9 you have to uninstall all previous versions with the uninstall tool: How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control

    try using this uninstaller.
    if that doesn't work, maybe you should try a different browser.
    http://filehippo.com/download_firefox/
    you'll get a 2nd flash install for this.
    when you go to control panel>programs and features,
    you'll see 2 separate entries for flash.
    1 is for internet explorer, the other is for firefox.
    maybe the 2nd flash will work.

  • Can you provide a link for Flash Player update for Steam on a windows 7 64bit O/S?

    Is it possible to get a correct link for the 64Bit Flash Player Update for the Steam programe?
    Steam keeps proving a link that only goes to the 32Bit version.
    which in turns keeps giving me this page time after time again.

    There is no separate 32-bit/64-bit installers.  Flash Player will automatically install both editions on a 64-bit system.

  • ITunes Update for Windows Vista 64 bit

    Does anybody know when this is going to be released. I got an iPhone and can't sync it with the latest version of Windows Vista. The friendly staff at AT&T forgot to tell me that I would not be able to use my iPhone until iTunes came out with an update for Windows Vista.
    Thank You.

    Probably...
    Download THIS installer by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As": Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)
    Then, download this PDF with detailed, illustrated instructions: 10.6 clean install.pdf

  • Update for Windows Vista (KB936824) Won't Work

    My computer keeps telling me to download the Update for Windows Vista (KB936824), but when I run it:
    *The update does not apply to you system*
    And my iPod is failing so I really need this. What's the problem?

    As I said in your other post, go to www.microsoft.com or contact your computer manufacturer for help. This is a Windows problem, not an iPod problem.

  • Flash Player 7 for Windows Mobile crashes Pocket IE

    I just downloaded and installed the latest Flash Player 7 for
    Windows Mobile on my Windows Mobile 2003 SE device. As a result
    Pocket Internet Explorer crashes whenever it tries to open a page
    with Flash content - including the adobe.com website. Opera Mobile
    seems not to recognize the player and simply ignores all Flash
    content.
    Is there any way to fix this and to get Flash support on
    Windows Mobile 2003 SE ?

    You will probably find that Adobe.com is using Flash 8 or 9
    content, hence
    the crash. Since most up-to-date web sites will be similar,
    you may find
    Flash 7 is largely unusable for web surfing.
    Just speculating.
    I don't know for certain.

  • Error when trying to download Flash Player Update for Firefox

    Hello,
    I am having a issue while trying to download 11,5,502,135 for Firefox on the destop.. keep getting the errror message (have the same issue while trying to use IE) .. I currently have version 1,5,502,110 on the desktop and works just fine.. been having this issue for some time trying to download 135..have tried everything that Adobe suggested but to no avail... I do have 11,5,502,135 downloaded on the laptop, same company, same system, same browser, same setup...the only difference the desktop has Norton, the laptop has AVG... but Norton don't seem to have a issue with the update...
    Any suggestions?...
    Larry Woller

    Hello,
    I was getting a script error..I had been to the website that you had posted and tried several suggestions.. this time I went to the site and used the " Flash Player Plugin (For all other browsers)" and for the first time I got a popup saying something to the effect "will finish installation when Mozilla closes).. in the past I would leave the website to access the Flash player download and the Firefox download window open and apparently the player installer and Firefox were  having a conflict.. I closed Firefox and the download window and the download continued and was successful.. will have to add that to my notes, make sure Mozilla is closed once I get the Save window before downloading Flasy Player...
    Thanks for your prompt reply and help...

  • Flash Player Support For Windows XP

    On 8th of April 2014, Microsoft will end the updates for Windows XP.
    My question is: Will Adobe offer updates for Flash Player after this date(for Windows XP?
    Thanks

    Sorry for my English.

    Hi,
    same issue under windows 7 - 64bits, Firefox 5.0 version.
    FP website says that this can be solved using the 32 bits version of Firefox.
    1) how do we know if we are using 32 or 64 bits version? (can't find this on the tool bar)
    2) how to move to a 32 bits version without upgrading to Firefox 9 (I have bit defender, and I read on Firefox website that they are not compatible)?
    Thanks in advance for your feed back on this.

  • Flash Player Updates to Windows 8

    I need help downloading and installing the update to flash Player on my Windows 8 computer. I don't understand the Help FAQs. How do I reach a person at Adobe to help me?

    You'd need to know how to uninstall it from Windows 8 (via the registry) to manually update Flash Player in Windows 8. Because it's embedded by Microsoft (for IE 10), it updates through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security and the Windows Update subheading)

  • Flash player crashing on Windows vista with 1.3 gh Intel processor - Is there a fix or is my processor just to slow for Flashplayer 14? I am on Firefox 31.

    I am unable to Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration if it keep crashing as I am unable to access. I have cleared, reinstalled, etc.... and tried everything on these forums. I have also submitted crash reports to Firefox.

    Hi userSharonD, if Flash newer than Flash 11.2 causes problems, there's a good chance that is due to the protected mode feature added in Flash 11.3. It has security benefits, but is not compatible with all systems for some reason.
    You can disable the feature by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
