Title: Critical Out-of-Band Adobe Flash Player Update
Post by: Corrine on April 07, 2016, 01:43:41 PM
Adobe has released Version 21.0.0.213 of Adobe Flash Player for  Microsoft Windows and Macintosh due to reports that CVE-2016-1019 (http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2016-1019) is being actively exploited on systems running  Windows 10 and earlier.

It is strongly advised that Flash Player be updated as soon as possible.

If you use the download  center, uncheck any unnecessary extras.

I'm going to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html (https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html) and it says that I have the latest version 21.0.0.197. Why?

Adobe hasn't fixed that page yet.

The latest version is 21.0.0.213. Get it for your non-IE browsers.

DR M  I was getting the same thing the solution for me was download and save.

And run the installer with all open windows closed..
