Adobe Flash Player, Secunia PSI and Me.

Of all the software that I use, probably none irritates me quite as much as Adobe Flash Player. (I've dumped at least since Adobe Reader, Java and all things Google). What a pain it is to keep this evil need patched on all my systems and browsers!

-All the weeks Flash seems to release a new version addressing "vulnerabilities", the latest version being seemingly 11.4.402.278 after being released 10 days ago.

-C' is my practice to avoid downloading the new software until the info on new changelog or release notes
are published. I want to know exactly why it is important to upgrade until I get a 'pig in a poke. "

-Adobe (and Secunia) still have to publish this info for the latest version of Flash. Thus, all my systems continue to use the old version 11.4.402.265. And Secunia PSI continues to tell me that this version is fully patched and 'up-to-date' on all my systems (XP and Win7). PSI has historically had a day or two to get the current with security updates, but after 10 days, I tend to trust him.

-Finally, it is my understanding that the latest versions of Flash (Control Panel > Flash console > Advanced tab) allowed to auto-update to the newer versions of the Flash, or at least to indicate a when newer versions were available to install (option I chose). I still get this function runs on any of my systems.

I missing something here, or is the top a valid rant?

This will bring you back up then

Personal Adobe

This version is simply the result of changes made to our build process.  There was no code carried out changes and no need to update your client systems.

Nice to Adobe to officially announce this information and not bury deep in their forums .

Do not make comparisons here, between the video below and a typical day at Adobe...
