Adobe has found a critical flaw in its Shockwave multimedia player version 11.5.0.596 and earlier. If a hacker exploits this bug, it could allow him to seize control of your computer.
Adobe recommends that you immediately uninstall Shockwave from your computer. Click Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs. Find Adobe Shockwave Player (if you have it) and click it. Click Change/Remove. Follow the steps to remove the program.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and reinstall the latest version, which is 11.5.0.600.
