Macromedia Flash Security Updates

Adobe recommends that all Flash Player users upgrade to the most recent version of the player through the Player Download Center to take advantage of security updates. The new version, v9.0.16.0, released June 28, fixes 2 security flaws.

1] A remote user can cause denial of service conditions.
2] A remote user can create a specially crafted compressed '.swf' file that, when loaded by the target user, will cause the target user's Flash player (or browser) to crash.

Use the "Player Download Center" link at Adobe for your download.

Check to see which version of Flash Player you have installed by clicking HERE.


Before clicking the "Install Now" button at the download page, don't forget to clear the ticked box for the Yahoo Toolbar installation !!! (Not required for operation of Flash Player)
