Software Update: Adobe Flash Player 28.0.0.126 & 28.0.0.127

Adobe has released version 28 of Flash Player and the Integrated Runtime. This browser plugin makes it possible to play Flash content, including so-called rich Internet applications and streaming audio and video. Flash Player is built into Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, for other browsers it will have to be installed separately.
