Software updater - Flash Player not updating
« on: June 20, 2017, 05:22:33 PM »
Firefox alerted me that Flash Player was out of date, I checked and it is. I tried to update with Avast's Software updater which is what I normally use but it says it's up to date when it isn't. Is anyone else having this problem?

Avast says I'm using version 25.0.0.171, I know version 26.0.0.131 is available.

I would say update manually and see what avast is saying after you have done so.

Ok I will try a manual update. Strangely enough I have Flash Player set to alert me of updates but it never does.

Manual update worked, Avast is correctly saying version 26.0.0.131. I don't know why it didn't alert me before.

My OS is Windows 7 - 64bit SP1. My Browser is Firefox 54.0. Avast normally updates both Active X and Plugin versions of Flash Player.

Yes I removed it as I missed your signature stating you were using win7.

In win10 the WU patch Tuesday updates the IE activeX flash Player. I don't believe this is the case in win7 and avast should be able to update, as you found on the manual update.

Same here even with 170620-2 VPS on 3 pcs
But this is very often the case with software updater in the hours / days that follow the official flashplayer update
There is a small delay, it seems some time.
I'll tell you when avast will report version 25.0.0.171 as obsolete

Edit june 26th : 25.0.0.171 still reporting as up to date

Hello,

thank you for the information. There was a problem with Adobe Flash in SoftwareUpdater, so it showed outdated version as the latest. Problem is already solved, the fix will be released with today's VPS update.

Regards.

SOFTWARE Updater problems - Flash Player Plugin
« Reply #14 on: June 15, 2019, 07:58:53 PM »
Hello!  I was alerted that my Flash Player Plugin needed to be updated (Adobe alerted me).  When  I go into Avast Performance and see that it is ready to updated I click on the highlighted button but nothing happens?
