<img src=/S/confused.gif border=0 alt=confused width=15 height=20> Are updates to Adobe Flash Player important? I just got a notice. I do not know what it actually does. Is this safe to download.
Thanks:Gariolous

Gary,

>>from the Adobe website:
Flash Player provides a more secure, lightweight, robust runtime environment for rich media and enterprise-ready rich Internet applications. Flash Player 9 achieves up to 10 times faster performance through ActionScript 3.0 and a new ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM), which features a Just In Time (JIT) compiler that translates ActionScript bytecode to native machine code for maximum execution speed.

Installed on over 600 million Internet-connected PCs and mobile devices worldwide, Flash Player provides consistent and predictable application runtime capabilities across browsers, desktops and other devices. Flash Player and Adobe Reader

It is also the ONLY version that will run on a Vista machine. We had to wait a lot time to get it, we had it just before the final real release of Vista.
