Leave a comment

Adobe announced a new version of Flash yesterday. Version 12.0.0.77 fixes two security vulnerabilities flagged by Adobe as Important.

As usual, Google Chrome will update itself with the latest version of Flash, while Internet Explorer 10 and 11 on Windows 8 and 8.1 will receive the latest Flash updates via Windows Update.

You can check the version of Flash currently installed on your computer (or more accurately, in your browser), by visiting the About Adobe Flash page, and you can download the new version from the Player Download Center (warning: this page will install additional software by default; make sure to uncheck any optional software checkboxes).

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
