There's a typo in the advisory: Windows and Macintosh users need to update to 11.3.300.271, not to 11.3.300.270. Also, according to the Adobe bulletin, the latest Chrome version is 21.0.1180.79. | ||||||||

Hi , If you reread the advisory and look at the solution , you will observe that there is not a "typo" and the correct version for the update is displayed :ie: 11.3.300.271 . Take care Anthony -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
