It is strongly advised to remove old(er) version(s) first before installing the latest one.
Thank you for responding and the suggestions/links.
One question however - there are two versions - one for IE and one for Chrome. The one I have for IE is the latest but in looking over the options for installation I see nothing to direct the download specifically for Chrome.
While you state that if already installed - Flash Player should run - AND - Chrome automatically updates Flash Player - HOWEVER - there is a banner at the top of the screen when using SafeBrowser/SafeZone that says Adobe Flash Player needs to be installed.
So - isn't that telling me/us that when in SafeBrowser/SafeZone - AVAST isn't SEEING the installed Flash Player???
This is why I asked how to install Flash Player when alreay "inside" SafeBrowser/SafeZone because the program did NOT seem to be "seeing" what was already installed "outside" of SaveZone.
Thoughts?
