Update to the latest version 8.0.24.0
Recently, Microsoft and Adobe made an announcement regarding a security vulnerability within older versions of the Flash Player originally distributed with Internet Explorer 6 installed on Windows XP, 98, and Millennium editions. This vulnerability will allow an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system. A malicious SWF must be leaded in Flash Player by the user for an attacker to exploit these vulnerabilities. Users are recommended to update to the most current version of Flash Player available for their platform. The affected Flash versions are 8.0.22.0 and earlier.

For Windows users who currently have Flash Player 6.0.79 or earlier installed on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, or Windows Millennium Edition, Microsoft is providing an updated Flash Player 6 (6.0.84.0) through Windows Update.
