I don't know how to update my Adobe Flash.

In Win10 it comes via Windows update, and is built into the OS
Sad Face Smiley from me, because, they are always late(I have seen it take up to a week) getting the updates out, leaving users unprotected.
Also Flash Player, like JAVA, are the largest add-on attack vectors that malware is distributed through.
I strongly recommend, that you turn Flash Player off, or depending on which browser you use, set it to "Click-to-Play".

New Adobe Flash Player WHQL 21.0.0.242 is available. See first post for more details. :)

I just received 21.0.0.242 myself Scottyboy.

I received the same build for Firefox yesterday.
