I wish developers would get on board with HTML5 so we could do away with the scourge that is Flash.
When are they ever going to put these flash drivers out to pasture?There has to be a better way to provide that type of media without having the danger of getting your data stolen or corrupted by these evil SOB’s.
How is it that Flash is year-after-year continually insecure, with update after update needed, apparently to no end.
What is it about Flash that makes it difficult to fix, for once and for all?
What is my Flash Player version? Says it up-to-date? Website does not have your version as the latest yet.
Has 21.0.0.182 as the latest and says it is up to date.

Hsmomx3 I have to get my flash update here. One of the few still running xp but should work for any version.
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
That auto-update page does not work for me, will not allow download updates to work, so I have to download the standalone full version.
I didn’t know anyone still used it after the last several hacks.
Not sure if this is related but Century Link here in Phoenix has been so bad this week. Web pages will not load properly and the internet is super slow. My sister who resides in another states says they are experiencing the same thing.
Century Link, when asked about this, says there are no issues and they attempt to sell you more products.
My computer is up to date with all updates, AV protection and Malware Bytes running.

Word has emerged about a “ransomware” exploit involving Adobe Flash. Adobe has responded with an update. The ransomware exploit is, for now, limited to users of Windows, but the update has been made to all supported platforms, so it’s an update to essential Flash code, not just something Windows-ish.
This illustrates that you need to be very careful about what you keep on your computer, and that you may want to periodically rethink the software you have installed.
To that end, if you absolutely need Adobe Flash to access content on the web that you need, at least make sure you’ve updated to the most recent version. Following another heinous Flash problem last March, I posted details about to update Flash safely on your Mac.
Those some rules apply today if you need to update. But if you don’t need Flash, you’ll be better off without it all together. It’s a gaping security problem, can cause performance and battery drain issues and is increasingly irrelevant to the web as more developers use HTML5 and other media-rich non-proprietary tech.
So why not remove it all together? If you already have Flash installed on your Mac and you’ve decided that enough is enough, here’s how to get rid of it once and for all.
Once it’s done, and you quit, the removal app should disappear all together.
If you ever want to reinstall Adobe Flash Player, simply visit Adobe’s web site and download the installer.
Also, bear in mind that it’s perfectly fine to have a Mac that doesn’t have Flash installed but still access Flash content. The trick is to use Google’s Chrome browser. Chrome “sandboxes” Flash inside itself, so you can still see Flash content on the web without it possibly affecting the rest of your computer.
