Hi, I am NOT sure if this is the correct method to add a comment to this Diary article ? As a relative newby - I am finding my way around the SANS ISC site. My Diary comment is as follows:- The Adobe web site is rather confused about the update status of the free Shockwave Player. According to Adobe, the latest download version is 12.1.5.155 - however, no matter what browser you use - IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc. - the version of code that is downloaded is the previous version 12.1.4.154. This may pose a possible Security Risk - I will keep an eye on the Adobe Shockwave web page and see whether the download code changes.	MalcolmP 4 Posts

As an update to my previous comment - the Adobe Shockwave player web page has now been fixed by Adobe. When you click the download link, you get the correct v12.1.5.155 code package downloaded. I have downloaded and installed the latest code and it seems to work OK so far.	MalcolmP 4 Posts
