New Flash Player version available

An updated Flash Player, version 16.0.0.305, is now available for download on the Adobe website. This version patches the zero-day exploit I mentioned a few days ago. All users that have Flash Player installed should update asap. If you had previously disabled Flash Player just reverse the instruction I gave in the previously mentioned article.

For now users that have Flash Player installed appear to be safe once again. That is until the next vulnerabilities are found which won’t take too long. If you do not absolutely need Flash Player on your system, consider removing it completely. You’ll be much safer out there.
