Adobe Flash Player 9.x (General Plug-in)
This installation of Adobe Flash Player  9.x (General Plug-in) is insecure and potentially exposes  your system to security threats!

Secunia strongly recommends that you  update this program by installing the update that is provided by the vendor of  this program.

    Since you have the new version installed you don't have anything to worry about. By default, programs will use the files located in the system32-folder first and only resort to using the files in their plug-in folders if the file in question is not in the windows system32-folder. So if the files in the system32 folder are the most recent then you're ok.

    Did Secunia PSI also point out

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll ?

    This is where Flash Player is installed.  All other instances are other Adobe products, for which you may have to obtain security updates.

    I don't think that's a good idea; there is a big chance that it may create compatibility problems.

    What are these other products?  They are probably some Flash creation tools?  Can you try to check for security updates for these products?  That should get you the latest available plugins.
