I have flash player but it does not appear on my IE 11 Windows 7 add ons list

I have flash player but it does not appear on my IE 11 Windows 7 add ons list.  I heard on the national news that the big bug in Microsoft IE goes through Adobe Flash Player, so you should turn it off.  I went to turn it off and it was not there.  Nothing for Adobe appears, though as recently as yesterday I went to the add ons and Adobe was there with more than one entry.

I am elderly and need my computer but am not very computer literate and need help.  Has anyone seen Adobe flash player disappear from the add ons list for Internet Explorer?

I recently updated Adobe Flash Player and know it is on my computer

When you go to "Manage Add-ons" did you select to show ALL add-ons?

It defaults to "Currently loaded add ons" and if Flash ISN'T loaded... it won't appear.

I haven't heard of any "big bug" in IE that goes through Flash Player.  If you're referring to "Heartbleed", that's an attack on websites, not the browsers people use to visit those sites..
