Plugin check says Adobe Flash PlayerRealNetworks(tm) RealDownloader PepperFlashVideoShim Plug-In 1.3.0.208 vulnerable but when I click on the update, I am offered install_flashplayer 17x32_mssa_aaa_aih.exe as a installer. When I run it McAfee security scan says I already have the application installed. Earlyer today a popup said there was a update to Adobe Flash and I installed it but I don't know the version. Plugin check actually has 2 entries for Adobe Flash. The ohher one is Adobe Flash PlayerShockwave Flash 17.0 r0 which is up to date. I am wondering if the update link to the first one is actually trying to update the sercond one (based on the installer name).

hi robey, this is just a bug on the plugincheck page which is mistaking this realplayer plugin for the flash one. please just ignore the notice to upgrade it...
