Flash Player has reached it's end of life.  As of today, Safari, Firefox and Chrome have all dropped support for browser plug-ins.  IE and Edge will follow suit soon.

We strongly advise that users avoid downloading old copies of Flash Player, or download Flash Player from third party sources.  Doing so significantly increases your exposure to malware/ransomware from multiple vectors.

 

We also recommend that users uninstall Flash Player at this point.  Uninstallers follow for your convenience.
