Just a reminder that the latest version is now 10.2.159.1

Versions for both IE and other browsers can be downloaded from here

http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/

Download it and then uninstall your old version via add/remove and then install new one.

Check which version of flash you have running here

Thanks

Your second link is broken though (the "..." are part of the link...maybe that's a forum bug?)

Fixed the link, and thanks for the heads up.

hazel wasn't in but she'd left the door open.

http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/

Filehippo now already lists Flash Player 10.3.181.5 (RC1) on this location.

The latest version of Flash Player (for all platforms and browsers) can always be found at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

I would rather continue with an old Flash that has known vulnerabilities than go to Adobe and let them contaminate my machine.

Adobe may possibly allow me to get a Flash with no publicly known vulnerabilities and thus a false sense of security,

but first they attempted to deceive me by installing GetTrash or some such downloader to then supervise both the download and the installation of Flash.

I recognised and aborted their GetTrash 3 or 4 times before I was satisfied that there really was no option but to install GetTrash before getting Flash

Since then I found FileHippo gave Flash without Trash, so that is the only source for me.

I believe Adobe may now permit Flash without Trash, which to me signifies they have a new way of subverting my control of my PC.

A rabid dog only gets to take one bite from me - I am not going back to Adobe.

NB I realise Adobe spell GetTrash a different way, but my way is a more accurate way of describing what you get.

I like your name for their stupid installer :lol:

FileHippo is great though - it'd be a pain in the *** if they didn't provide the normal installers (although I think they are hidden somewhere in Adobe's website...)

I use a small *.SWF file to tell me which version of Flash I have installed. See attachment.

To play this *.swf file one needs a version of Flash to be installed and a stand alone SWF player like e.g. SWF Player from a company called GlobFX (http://www.globfx.co...oads/swfplayer/)

Unlike the default download page with the download manager and its bundled crapware, the link that I posted are clean downloads, where most likely 3rd-party download sites like Filehippo obtain their downloads.

The link also contains MSI installers, and installers for other platforms like Mac and Linux.
