What is the problem?

There are bugs in the Adobe software list above which, if not fixed, could result in your computer being attacked by criminals. Your personal and/or business information may be accessed for fraudulent or illegal purposes (eg, identity theft).

This software may be installed on your computer or smart phone as a browser plug-in to display “flash” content found on many popular web sites. Flash content includes some animation and video formats, such as those found on the video site YouTube.com.

What we recommend you do

The problem can be easily fixed by updating your computer to the latest version:

Adobe Flash software from:

http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

Please note that if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer it is recommended to update the Adobe Flash Player for each browser. This is done by connecting to the Adobe web site separately using each browser. Android users can update their phones by browsing to The Android Marketplace.

To verify your existing Adobe Flash Player version number visit:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

This will also tell you if Adobe Flash Player is installed for the particular browser you use. If you have more than one browser installed, eg, Windows Internet Explorer and Safari or Mozilla Firefox, etc, repeat this process using each browser. If the Adobe Flash Player plug-in is not installed in your Mozilla Firefox browser, it will say that "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". You do not need to install the plug-in for Adobe Flash Player unless you wish to do so.

Adobe Shockwave software from:

http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

If you do not already have this software installed, there is no need to install it. Please note that if you have more than one web browser installed on your computer it is recommended to update the Adobe Shockwave Player for each browser. This is done by connecting to the Adobe web site separately using each browser.

Adobe AIR software from:
