Wonder why my latest update shows 12.0.0.70? By the way look out for the Goggle add-on it tries to install.  |

I'm a bit confused, too. I got a notice in email from Krebs on Security yesterday (Feb 20) and the article said a new Flash Player was out -- but I already had the 12.0.0.70 installed. For the second time this month, Adobe has issued an emergency software update to fix a critical security flaw in its Flash Player software that attackers are already exploiting. Separately, Microsoft released a stopgap fix to address a critical bug in Internet Explorer versions 9 and 10 that is actively being exploited in the wild...etc krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/adobe-microsoft-push-fixes-for-0-day-threats/ |

Laverne & Drmark
On what date were your adobe flash installed and do you have them on auto install ? Most people have them on auto so they don't notice when updated.

Marck, in your initial post, you wrote 20.0.0.70. Did you mean 12.0.0.70?

Marck In reply to your comment, I do not use auto install for Adobe Flash. I do the updates manually. I re-checked my versions again -- and found that the version check at www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/using Internet Explorer as the browser showed that I had an out of date Adobe Flash. So I updated that. My default browser is Chrome and when I checked the Flash version using Chrome browser, it was up to date with the 12.0.0.70 version. I think Chrome does its own update when it updates the browser. As for IE, I think there are two updates necessary, the ActiveX and the NPAPI. All of this is not very clear to me but I hobble along. I never know where to find the NPAPI download for IE, so I usually run Secunia PSI and download it from the results screen which shows my Adobe Flash Player NPAPI as out of date. Laverne |

Laverne, I too prefer to do the updates manually. On the Adobe site, there are two separate versions listed, one for Internet Explorer and the other for most other browsers. If you download the one for IE, I don't think you have to look for two separate parts: I'm under the impression that the version for IE contains what you need. But updating Chrome won't update IE (and vice versa). When I downloaded the update for Pale Moon, it updated Pale Moon, Firefox, and Opera, but not IE (I don't have Chrome on my computer). I had to download the IE version separately.

I wholeheartedly agree about manually updating. I simply do not want the potential security loss by allowing software to "phone home" at will. Also, I see no point in having yet one more service running 24/7 on my computer and using resources just for an occasional update.
