If it is already dangerous to install this software after its end of support, let’s imagine what could happen if the source from where we downloaded it has hidden malware or unwanted software in the installer. This website offers us (for legal reasons) the official Adobe installer, which has adware, for what we must be careful when installing it.Īlthough it may be tempting to search for the plugin on other websites, we strongly recommend not doing so.
In this link we will be able to find Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.465, the latest update of this add-on released on December 8, 2020. Also, if we have installed it by hand, we can easily uninstall it using its assistant. And if we have Windows up to date, one of the last patches of 2020 has been in charge of uninstalling this plugin from the operating system. If we have our browser updated, he will have already removed the plugin (or will do so soon). Just by the mere fact of having it installed we are opening the door to possible computer attacks.
The only thing we are going to have are security and performance problems when surfing the net. It is vital to avoid this add-on from now on. This means that any security flaw that is discovered will be left open forever, and hackers will try to use it to infect as many users as possible. As with Windows XP or Windows 7, the popular web plug-in is no longer supported.
