I have Secunia PSI 1.0.0.3 on Vista Home Premium My scan showed the following threats: - Macromedia Flash Player 8.x - Adobe Flash Player 10.x - Adobe Flash Player 9.x My intention was to delete all three programs. So the next time that I visited a web page that required one of these programs, I could do the update when requested. I deleted Adobe Flash Player 10.x using the Control Panel. I could not find the other two programs in the list. A re-scan showed that these two programs still remain as threats. Can anyone advise me how to delete these programs? . |

Hi Try to use Adobes Flash uninstaller, they recommend it when updating to a newer version. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?ext... Then go and download the newest Flash Player from their site! Underlien -- LG S900 Laptop 3GB RAM - Intel Dual Core 1.80 GHz Ubuntu Linux 9.04 Virtual Machines running Windows Vista and Windows XP |

Thanks to Maurice and Underlien. I downloaded the uninstaller. That removed Macromedia Flash Player 8.x. I still have Adobe Flash Player 9.x. The path is c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\NPSWF32.dll I can see the file in its folder. Shall I delete it manually? (I used the uninstaller followed by re-scan. Then repeated that pair of actions several times.) |

I would delete it manually - reboot - rescan with PSI and then install the new Flash from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Good - The secret is to always use the Adobe uninstaller each time U update Flash and not Add/remove which Adobe no longer support. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |
