Re: After XP SP3 Install - Check Flash Player Version

Not to sound terribly paranoid, but why is a Microsoft update messing with Macromedia/Adobe files in the first place?

It not messing with anything that it does not have a valid license for, and for which it has distributed since SP2. At the time Macromedia was anxious to move everyone behind Flash and away from earlier methods to show this type of content.

It is a non-issue if you have updated Flash. If you have not updated flash, see the Hotfix link earlier; or update Flash; or Uninstall it.
