Threat Mitigation - Verify Your Flash Player Version
To verify the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your system, access the About Flash Player page. Verify the number in the "Version Information" box matches your current browser and operations system in the table below. If it doesn't, you should apply the latest version.
