Hi!

I find interesting feature(?): flash player in registry brunch HKCU\Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\ in field FlashPlayerVersion has data '18.0.0.209~installVector=2'

My fried has '18.0.0.209~installVector=1'. i had googled it and saw '18.0.0.209~installVector=8'

Please, can you explain me, what means 'installVector' parameter?

    HI jennyl4944394,

    This parameter is simply the installation method used to install Flash Player.

    If the registry output in your post is correct, you have an old, unsecured version of Flash Player installed.  There have been quite a few releases since 18.0.0.209 was released. It's recommended to update to the latest, most secure version, 19.0.0.226.
