Security update for flash player....did it install?

Yesterday on dec 16, I had a window pop up on my comp telling me that there is some security update for flash player so I clicked install and it was connecting and everything...then I allowed Adobe systems incorportated permission and all that stuff which was normal....then the adobe helper stopped working and I got a message saying that it will have to close the program......now I don't know...did the updates install or not...what were the security updates so I can check...any advice?

Hi, well DLM is Download Manager and sometimes it is used to D/L FP. It is supposed to disconnect after FP is downloaded. Go to Add/Remove, you should see Flash Player 10 ActiveX listed. If the Adobe Download Manager or DLM is listed Remove it from there and reboot. It is not supposed to be there after it serves it purpose.
The version is 10.0.42.34, I hope you just made a typo:-)
Also, if you are using IE, go to Tools>Manage add ons and look to see if you have listed Shockwave Flash Object......
ActiveX......Flash10d.ocx and that it is Enabled.  Be sure to check in "currently loaded" and "have been used".
In Firefox you would look in extenstions, add ons or plug-ins, look for SWF.
In order for FP to operate properly, you need the ActiveX in IE and the SWF plug-in in FF.
Thanks

  • Regarding security update for Flash Player 9 (Flash Player 9,0,124,0)

    We are facing issue in STOMP client because of newly
    implemented restriction on flash player.(
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player9_security_update.html).
    Because of this, Our STOMP client is not able to get messages
    from activemq.
    We have tried to add socket meta files as discussed in others
    article but we were not able to get solutions.
    We have done below stuffs.
    1) Added LoadPolicy code in stompclient for getting
    policyfile from server running on 80 port.
    2) Also set xmlSocket as load policy to get connection from
    stompclient to Activemq.
    1) PolicyFile.xml(loading this also in STOMPClient.swf)
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
    "/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    <!-- Policy file for xmlsocket://socks.example.com -->
    <cross-domain-policy>
    <!-- This is a master-policy file -->
    <site-control
    permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
    <!-- Instead of setting to-ports="*",
    administrators can use ranges and commas -->
    <!-- This will allow access to ports 123, 456, 457, and
    458 -->
    <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
    </cross-domain-policy>

    Hi,
    i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
    I realy need some advice.
    Thank's to all.

    Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
    Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

  • Why ship Google Chrome with security updates to Flash Player

    I do not want it, I will not install it, it wastes time downloading. Stop sending it to me.

    I remember the European Competition authorities made a judgement against Microsoft for only shipping Internet Explorer with Windows. How can you only ship the Chrome option with Adobe updates, why do you not give users the option to download other browsers?

  • Does Adobe still release updates for Flash Player 10?

    Our users are currently on XP and are using Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.18.
    Does Adobe still release updates for version 10 or do we have to go to 11 to be up to date security-wise?

    The latest update for Flash Player 10.x is 10.3.183.20; you can obtain the installers from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • I need the download for the Security Update for Shockwave Player Active X 12.0.3.133

    To Whom It May Concern,
    I need the download for Adobe Shockwave Player Security Update for Shockwave Player Active X 12.0.3.133.  So far all I have got is the run around.  Please can someone help me get this update for my laptop?
    Sincerely,

    Is there a reason you need this SPECIFIC build? Because I was unable to locate it in three different places I looked.
    There are FULL installers here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp (version 11)

  • Is Using the Automatic Update for Flash Player Safe? It is Installed In System Preferences On My Mac

    Hello-
    One day I noticed that there was an icon on my MacBook Pro of Adobe Flash on the last row of system Preferences.  I had never seen it before, and I had ben using Flash for a long time and updating it regularly.
    It recently told me there is a newer version.  I did not let it install it because I am having so many problems with viewing Flash Videos on websites.  I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I use Safari 5.1.5, the latest as far as I know.
    In using this automatic updater for Flash (there are actually several tabs when I click the Adobe icon not just the updater) in the Advanced tab of the Flash Player icon are there any special things I should do if I click yes update?  should I close all the windows, apps, Safari?  do a restart?  I am debating if I should do a Clean Install, wipe all Flash Player off the Mac and just install the latest version rather then letting the updater install the latest version, which I think is 11.2.202.228.  I currently have 11.1.102.64 with a bunch of video issues.
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • Expired Security Certificate for Flash Player 10.2.153.1 Install

    When I tried to update the Flash Player to the latest release, 10.2.153.1, Adobe tried to download the latest DLM. This is normal. Windows 7 gives the the option to check the publisher's security certificate, which I always do. This time I found that the certificate for Adobe had expired on 3/16/2011.  Since today is 3/21/2011, and the fix was made available today, I aborted the install. An expired certificate would be fine if the date the file was signed was in the period the certificate was valid, but there is no way to check that.
    What is going on here?  Has someone hacked the Adobe servers? Or is this just an "Oops" on the part of Adobe.

    Hi, Since that's the latest update that just came out, I haven't had time to check that. Is the certificate for the DLM perhaps?
    What about the certificate with the Flash Player you have Installed currently? What does it say?
    Thanks,
    eidnolb

  • Security Update for Flash Video

    The Security Update for Dreamweaver CS3 from downloads
    APSB08-01.zip does not have the correct date. The Security Bulletin
    says to verify the creation date of the file Adobe Dreamweaver
    CS3\configuration\Templates\Video_Player. The date should be
    January 15, 2008 according to the Bulletin.
    I have gone through the procedure three times and still end
    up with the wrong date. Is the bulletin wrong? Would a January 9,
    2008 date be correct? If not, I desperately need help to resolve
    this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Pat

    I've noticed this too. Just had to do a fresh install of
    Vista, after installing DW CS3 I downloaded the Flash player
    security update by following
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-01.html?trackingid=BUCMS&pss=dw_9.0 _win_en_full___20040226
    to
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402925&sliceId=2
    When extracted, the files contained within APSB08-01.zip have
    a date of January 1, 2008; however the text indicates the date of
    extracted files should be January 15, 2008.
    Would it not make more sense for this update to simply be
    included as other updates within the Adobe Updater?
    As the poster above me, Secunia is also reporting these files
    as insecure even after downloaded from the above links and
    applied.

  • Installing Update for Flash Player

    I have installed on my computer Adobe Flash 11 Plugin and Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6. I am composing a photo book with Shutterfly and encountering some problems. Shutterfly suggested that I clear the cache and cookies which I have done. They also suggested that I install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I attempted to download; it begins to install and then stops. I have Malwarebytes......does it need to be disabled in order to install the Flash Player? If so, please tell me how to do this and reinstall.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one of the following links and selectiong "Save Target as" (IE) or "Save Link as" (other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer to your downloads folderv - DO NOT run it yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you opening anything else, locate and run the installer.

  • Getting error when trying to download update for flash player with OSX 10.91

    Trying everything to download update for Adobe Flash Player. This is maddening. I have tried uninstalling previous player and re-installing and checked my preferences. Can any one give me some instructions that are easy to understand. I keep getting an error when installing.

    There usually is an Adobe flash uninstaller that goes through a process satisfactorily.
    Did you get the Adobe Flash update from their
    page, directly?  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Also note the extensive info at Adobe link below.
    If you are having trouble, or Safari is involved, if
    you use a different browser, such as Firefox, etc to
    get that version Flash update. There's another thing to
    look into, in Mavericks, that older OS X didn't
    have, that may affect installation...
    In System Preferences, find a Flash Player preference
    under "Other." Click on the Advanced tab and then "Check
    Now" in the Updates section. An available new one
    would be installed. There is a similar issue/answer
    in the following solved ASC discussion thread:

  • What is the recommended action in response to Adobe's 6-4-10 security advisory for Flash Player?

    Adobe security advisory: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa10-01.html
    "A critical vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris operating systems..."
    Is the Flashblock 1.5.13 addon capable of preventing this vulnerability? I hesitate to install this because of the recent poor user reviews.
    Any suggestions or advice are appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Bill.
    Flashblock will block Flash objects from running unless you explicitly allow them. I used to use Flashblock but I haven't in quite some time. So, yes, it will do the job. I only see one double-posted bad review for Flashblock. The average rating is still 5 stars.
    Instead I use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 NoScript], which blocks Flash, other plugins, and all page scripts unless explicitly allowed by you. It might be overkill to deal with this vulnerability.
    You could disable the Flash plugin until you are sure you are on a safe site that needs it, such as YouTube, in Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins.
    You could also try the [http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ pre-release of Flash 10.1], which, according to Adobe, does not seem to be vulnerable. Make sure to follow instructions to uninstall any previous Flash version before installing 10.1. I have been using it without problems for awhile.
    You may be fine as long as you avoid unfamiliar sites. Once a malicious site is reported, Firefox will block it with the built in attack site and phishing site protection.

  • Scam update for Flash Player

    I tried to update my existing Flash Player when a prompt turned up on my computer, only to find out when it was too late that it was a Scam.
    It uninstalled my exixting Flash Player and now will not allow me to reinstall Flash Player at all.  I have been trying for about three weeks now with no luck.
    This happened once before and Flash Player came back of its own accord, but not this time.
    Please can anyone help me?

  • How do I verify the security update for 7.1.6 is installed?

    I have over 200 classroom PCs I need to install the security patch linked below on. How can I verify it's correctly installed since there is no visible change to the software, not even on the Help-About screen.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305531
    (This is for Quick time for Windows)
    Windows   Windows XP Pro  

    If you install QT 7.1.6, it says 7.1.6 in the help screen. If you install the newly released security update, nothing changes to show the security update has been applied. It still says 7.1.6 in the help screen. Even running the patch manually, it gives no indication it has successfully installed.
    I am required to install this patch on about 200 clasroom machines but have no way to verify which ones get the patch and which don't. Apparently I can't even go around to each of them and manually verify.
