Today, Adobe released an emergency patch to its Flash Player plugin.
Apparently, someone figured out how to use the player to deliver
ransomware (a type of malware that locks you out of your computer until
you pay the ransom).
The new version is 21.0.0.213, and you can get it here:
<https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>.
The other bundled stuff (McAfee, TrueKey) is optional; you don't need to
accept that to patch the Flash Player.
I've twice clicked on that link and downloaded the 1.1 MB installer ....
and then got an error when installing it!! Hmm, my Win7 OS is WOW 64,
but that adobe page is identifying me just as 64bit Windows ..... I
might try the other link posted by Thee Chicago to see if it's any more
successful!!
But whilst downloading the 20 MB Windows MSI from there, I checked my
Help->About Plugins and it showed I had Shockwave Flash
NPSWF32_21_0_0_213.dll already installed!! :-)
Let's be careful out there.
The Police Sgt from Hill Street Blues, I think! :-P
Try this: http://www.adobe.com then look at the bottom of the page for
downloads. Click on it an you should be taken to a page that has Adobe
Reader, Flash, Air, and Shockwave shown in the upper right of the page.
And yes, it is identifying your Windows correctly. WOW64 means the 64
bit version of Windows.
If you are using Seamonkey to download the file, save it, typically
\user\downloads. Exit Seamonkey, find the file and execute it.
Then do the same with Internet Explorer. That one can be installed with
the browser running.
