Windows users who browse the Web with anything other than Internet Explorer may need to apply this patch twice, once with IE and again using the alternative browser (Firefox, Opera, e.g.). If you choose to update, please do it today. The most recent versions of Flash should be available from this Flash distribution page or the Flash home page.
I’ve got more on that approach (as well as slightly less radical solutions ) in A Month Without Adobe Flash Player. The smartest option is probably to ditch the program once and for all and significantly increase the security of your system in the process. If you have Flash installed, you should update, hobble or remove Flash as soon as possible. 22.0.0.192 for Windows and Mac users alike. I don't mind when open source or freeware creators add such options to their installers so they can make a little money, but Adobe?!! Greedy SOBs.Adobe on Thursday issued a critical update for its ubiquitous Flash Player software that fixes three dozen security holes in the widely-used browser plugin, including at least one vulnerability that is already being exploited for use in targeted attacks. They get money for including the options for installing other software in their installer.
Why? The answer, as semllbs says, is that Adobe is looking to make more money. After I go the extra mile to upgrade their sh*tty product, I find that Adobe has the nerve to try to foist a copy of McAfee Antivirus on me. In order to make sure the updates work, I always look for a manual, standalone installer for Flash player (which for some reason is not easily found). If an error message shows at all, it is typically an obscure one. On the thirty or so 64bit Windows 7 machines that we have in our department, the "automatic" Flash updates almost NEVER work. Adobe doesn't care about making life easier for system administrators or for ordinary folk, otherwise they would not block ninite or hassle them (see .uk/1/adobe_says_no/).
