DECEMBER 12
It's Patch Tuesday and my grand-nephew's first birthday. Cake later, here are the updates, so far - and how to get them.
CCleaner, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash and Microsoft
CCleaner: Open the program, then click the "Check for updates" link in the lower right corner. Follow the prompts to download, then install the FREE VERSION ONLY. If you can't find it, I can help.
Adobe AIR: And a lot of other updates can be installed simply and without questions nor third-party software by running your Ninite Updater now. Don't have it? I can help.
Adobe Flash: Though it's quickly going away, many apps, web sites and games still use Flash and if you want to use them you need to install the latest version of Flash. In fact, if Flash is installed on your computer you need to update it. Recent versions update themselves (with some luck), and Chrome and Edge handle it for you. Firefox still needs some help, so open Firefox, go to adobe.com and click on Flash Player at the bottom. Follow the prompts, and uncheck ALL the boxes.
Microsoft will have a few patches, too, and on Windows 10 and 8.1 will attempt to install them for you. Watch for the prompt to restart your computer. If you want to check for yourself and get it over with, click Start - Settings - Updates and Security. Need help? Find me and I'll help.
