I have 3 instances of insecure versions of Flash Player - all relating to Adobe Photoshop CS4: Adobe Flash Player 9.x (General plug-in) 9.0.124.0 Photoshop CS4\Extension Manager CS4\npswf32.dll Photoshop CS4\Bridge CS4\Browser\plugins\npswf32.dll Adobe Flash Player 9.x (Opera plug-in) 9.0.115.0 Photoshop CS4\Adbobe Device Central CS4\Required\Opera\program\plugins\npswf32.dll I tried contacting Adobe about this, but the support engineer did not seem to understand the issue. Is there any way to deal with this (short of uninstalling CS4)? |

From a simplistic , non-techie point of view , these questions come to mind :- 1) Does CS4 need the out of date v9 of flash specifically in order to work ? 2) Do you have the equivalent versions of the up to date 10.0.22.87 installed ? Adobe is well known for leaving obsolete files behind ; these "might" pose a security risk - as PSI has pointed out. -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |

If no one can help you with the first point , you could try renaming the insecure files and move them to a new folder . Be sure to remember the original names/designation in care you need to restore them for CS4 to work - if you just move them PSI will see them & they may not be safe. The 10.0.22.87 give the appearance from here as updating the v9 files ; you could check all the folders/files (v9 & 10) by clicking on the "open folder" link from each installation path & recording all file versions & look for duplicates. I hope someone will add their techie advice to my ramblings. -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
