    Odd, updated Adobe shockwave flash plug in, yet after the process it still detects the plug in as vunerable. Firefox 49.0.2. repeated the update, reboot etc. thoughts....?

    I'm just curious, is there any particular reason you still need Shockwave? It's a terrible product (from a security perspective). I don't even have Flash installed and my internet experience is just fine.

    You've somehow got two versions installed. Version 23 is the latest, it's showing version 20 as being vulnerable. You should be able to uninstall this version from Control Panel > Uninstall a Program.

    Well spotted ! However I dont see reference to V.20 in "Uninstall a Program".

    I long gave up on the flash plugin for FF as it was so unreliable, I just use chrome now instead when I want to watch stuff that FF can't do.
