Recently, services of online viewing of films and listening to music have become increasingly important. Many of them are based on Flash technology, the creator of which is the well-known company Adobe.
Often, users cannot update the "Adobe Flash Player" in the system, and this is fraught with many troubles. For example, older versions may not work properly.
Note that when using them, computer resources will run out faster. This is especially true for laptops whose battery is not a "bottomless barrel" in any way.
But the fact that outdated modifications are a potential security risk is much worse, since malicious software developers are willing to use holes in them.
So how to update "Adobe Flash Player" in order to avoid such problems? It is not so difficult.
First you should download the installation kit of the version that is relevant at the moment. Installing the program is not a problem.
Inexperienced users may think that each time they will have to download and install the application again, but this is not so. To configure
automatic updates, you need to do a few simple manipulations.
Firstly, click on the “Start” button, select “Control Panel”. In the dialog that opens, you need to find Flash Player. Click on this link and a new settings window will open. To update the "Adobe Flash Player" automatically, you need to open the "Advanced" tab.
In the item “Change update settings”, check the box “Allow Adobe to install updates”. All! After that, the program will independently search for new versions and install them in the system.
In the case described by us, she will not ask any additional permissions from the user. This is especially valuable for beginners, whom any dialog box drives into a stupor.
Note that in order to successfully search for and install updates, you must have a normal Internet access channel, as otherwise the process will often be interrupted.
By the way, the Adobe Flash Player plugin, which is so easy to update, is completely absent in Google Chrome. Instead, another technology is used, and therefore users of this browser do not need to tinker with the settings: the browser itself will automatically download everything you need, so you definitely will not have any extra problems.
Once again, Flash technology is very far from perfect in terms of security, and therefore, when
surfing the Internet you need to be careful. For example, a frequent case: you go to some dubious site, after which you are offered to update the "Adobe Flash Player".
In no case should you agree to and install on your computer the program that you are offered. With a high degree of probability, you can get WinLocker or a Trojan program that will successfully “merge” all your confidential information to a third party, passing all the “passwords and appearances” there.
As you can see, "Adobe Flash Player" is easy to update, but it is necessary to show a certain degree of care.
