Adobe Flash Player Auto Update
auto updates of the Adobe Flash player, but unfortunately this is not working on my machine. Has anyone had the same problems and was able to solve them?Some information on my setup:I had previously installed Flash player version 11.1.102.63, both ActiveX and Plugin version (installed through the .msi files, deployed via Active Directory/GPO - no further configuration, just plain original .msi files).To test the auto update feature, I decided to install the new 11.2.202.228 version, but only the ActiveX version. I installed this via the .exe installer (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) manually, choosing "Install updates automatically when available (recommended)" in the last step of the installation, as seen here:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/background-updater-windows.htmlWhen I open Control Panel -> Flash Player, under the "Advanced" tab I see:

Adobe Flash Automatic Update
How To + Recommended How to Tell if Adobe Flash Player Update is Valid Posted on March 8th, 2013 by Derek adobe reader auto update Erwin There have been a lot of articles lately about security problems with Flash Player and recommendations to update Adobe plug-ins. But you may be wondering a few things, such as what the heck is https://forums.adobe.com/thread/984973 a plug-in? How do you know if the version of Flash you have is the one that needs updating? And how do you make sure you’re as safe as possible when updating the software, given the constant flood of problems that are being reported? These are all valid concerns that we’ll clear up, putting your mind at ease when it comes time to update Adobe Flash Player. What is a https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/how-to-tell-if-adobe-flash-player-update-is-valid/ Plug-in? Let's start with the basics. Plug-ins (or "plugins" – both are correct) are software elements used by web browsers, often to display certain types of content such as Flash or Java. Sometimes these come with your browser automatically, but sometimes you have to add them. When it comes to plug-ins, it can be hard to know what you have installed or what version you have. Adobe's Flash Player is one of the most popular plug-ins on many websites, developed as multi-platform software for use on all the major operating systems. This plug-in provides what is called "Active Content," meaning it adds additional functionality to web pages for interactive or media-related capability. What's the Security Concern with Plug-Ins? These powerful applets can be embedded in web pages and provide the opportunity to access users across all operating systems, which means the software is a popular attack point for malware authors. For instance, it has been known for some time now that Java is not particularly safe, and the list of open issues does not seem to be decreasing. But Flash too has had its share of problems lately, which has led to Apple blocking older versions of the plug-in. Flash was not included on iOS, in part bec
Other Chrome issues Adobe Flash has been blocked because it's out of dateIf Adobe Flash isn't working or you're encountering the "Adobe Flash has been blocked because it is out of date" error message on your computer, check that you're on the latest version of Chrome and that Flash is up to date to unblock the https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6258784?hl=en plugin. Flash is not supported on Chrome for Android devices, iPhones, iPads, and http://www.karlhorky.com/2012/06/manually-run-autoupdate-for-adobe-flash.html other mobile devices.

Information for administrators Critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player. They're already part of adobe flash auto exploit kits. The latest Chrome version already contains the necessary updates. If Chrome automatically updates (recommended) in your organization, there is no further action necessary. If however, for any reason you have manually disabled updates, and the Flash version is determined to be unsafe, users will begin seeing flash content blocked by default and see an infobar prompting them to update. We determine the severity of this vulnerability to be serious enough to warrant this action. As an administrator, you could choose to suppress this blocking by default and infobar message by using the AllowOutdatedPlugins policy. However this is strongly discouraged and our recommendation is to update Chrome to the latest version. Share this: Megan is a Google Chrome expert and the author of this help page.

Adobe's Flash Player after 11.2 offering the option for silent automatic updates in the background, the likelihood of ever having an out of date Flash Player plugin and the security risks that come with it have been reduced to near nil. However, the updates still do not happen instantaneously. As of the time of writing, the plugin checks for updates when the associated browser (such as Firefox) runs Flash content. But even at that point, the plugin sets the update to occur on the next restart, which could be a long time for people who just sleep their computer in between using it. To make things worse, unless you're using a browser such as Google Chromewhich has the plugin integrated, there is no easy way to trigger an immediate update within the software. Fortunately, there's a way to trigger the auto-update with a command line flag on both Windows and Mac, although the Windows commands below require finding out what the version number string is. I've also made this into a Windows batch file (source below) for those who don't want to go hunting for the version number string. Some important notes for those who use either version: The plugin update can still only be run with the target browser closed. Running the FlashUtil executable with the -update plugin flag will always trigger the setup, even if your installation is up to date. So check your versionto make sure that you don't already have the latest version before running it. Windows The first command below is for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) and the second one is for Firefox, Safari, and Opera. To run the updaters, replace the version number placeholder with the latest version on your system, or just use the batch file instead. Batch file source: Mac Run this command in a terminal window to launch the Flash auto updater. Posted by Karl Horky Labels: automation, batch, code, commandline, mac,
