It looks like so far this one is just in Reader and Acrobat, and not in Flash. These things usually come in waves though, I wouldn't be surprised if a new Flash flaw pops up in the next day or two.

Geeze, will it ever end? I uninstalled flash a few months ago from my gaming rig and haven't turned back. It's a pill sometimes, but not worth the (obviously continued) risk, IMHO.

Thanks for the info Dave. :)

Here is a sweet little ap which can update flash without using your browser.

Toss it in a folder as it's portable.
I used it today with no problems or bs
needs .net and it's apparently windows only

Well that's certainly interesting...I'll have to try that out when I get home (in-flight currently).
Too bad it requires .net though, else it'd be truly 'portable' and could be used on any windows machine. (Well, any as in recent, not w98 or w/e lol)
