WinPatrol found this flashplayer plugin. Is it safe?

13 years ago

Winpatrol just found this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10h_Plugin.exe -update plugin

Is it safe to install this? I wasn't updating anything on my computer when this popped up - although I believe there is a new flashplayer version out. Is that right? Should I accept this - and update my flashplayer?

Thanks

Lynn

it looks legit Lynn since it is Macromedia and is in system 32 folder, however if you want to play it safe just go right to the adobe flash site and get your download from there so you know for sure.

Download the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player.

Two new versions of Flash Player were released this week, an IE version and a non-IE version. I want to say the non-IE version was identified as a plug in.

Trouble with Browsers
Q
Comments (31)
Update: more trouble shooting led me to check the DSL speed. The download was about 7 Mbps, and satisfactory but the upload was as low as 80 Kbps - discussing with the Teleco technical support (Century Link) the evening of Thursday last, led to the diagnosis the Telephone modem was malfunctioning, in fact it completely stopped working on the power-down/up test. The CL representative could not provide any access to a replacement modem, but they would ship me one for $15 three days (bet business days, so not until Monday or Tuesday). They could ship overnight for $25. I told them ship 3 day I'm checking with Comcast an may move my service there. I up an running on Comcast at a so-called 105 Mbps which checks out closer to 15 mbps, about the same up/down. Not sure what the 105 Mbps is about. The good news cable, Comcast/Xfinity, was able via over the counter purchase at Walmart of a Cable Modem to put me back in service over my existing TV cable access in a matter of minutes. Down side, we don't want to change our email address. I will check to see how low a price I can get from Century Link and retain my email/ISP account. So far the browser works great.
