Shockwave Player Vulnerability

An Adobe Security Bulletin in late June 09 stated there was a security vulnerability in their Shockwave Player (Version 11.5.0.596 and earlier).

This is not the Flash player, it’s more for animated games and such, but there are an estimated 450 million computers with the Shockwave player installed.

To see if it’s installed on your computer go to Start/Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs (Vista: Start/Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features) and see if Shockwave Player is installed.

If it’s installed, remove it and go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ to download the newest version.
