    Yet another Adobe Flash security hole that needs patching. Win10

    Hi,

    Which browser are you using? If you're using Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, Adobe Flash Player installed with Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 10 and 8.1 will be automatically updated to the latest version, which will include Adobe
    Flash Player 23.0.0.205. But if you're using other browsers, you have to manually update Adobe Flash Player.

    Keep us posted.

    Yet another Adobe Flash security hole that needs patching. Win10

    FWIW, there's an interesting thread on this subject
    in this Norton Forum thread.     As well as giving details of different versions of the update that are available, one member had reported CompuServe as saying the update is 'horrible'!
