  I’m running far behind on some things.

  EP sent this in last week…

  Adobe has released new security updates for Flash Player, Shockwave Player and Acrobat Reader this July 2015.

  Adobe Acrobat & Acrobat Reader patches posted in Adobe security bulletin APSB15-15:
  https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/reader/apsb15-15.html

  Adobe Shockwave Player update posted in Adobe security bulletin APSB15-17:
  https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/shockwave/apsb15-17.html

  Adobe Flash Player patches posted in Adobe security bulletin APSB15-18:
  https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb15-18.html
  (this one is the second batch of Flash Player updates this July as they supersede
   the ones found in Adobe security bulletin APSB15-16)
  https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb15-16.html

  And I’m not upgrading to Windows 10 anytime this year as I’m uncertain of how
  automatic updates will be delivered to Windows 10 users.  I still like to download and install Windows Updates manually and to “pick & choose” which updates to install and which ones to skip.

  New security updates for Adobe Flash Player versions 10.3 and 11.7 posted here:

  New Adobe Shockwave Player 12 security update posted here:

  And reading this Majorgeeks.com April 9 story about Avira & Windows 8 support here:
  http://majorgeeks.com/story.php?id=38446 it looks like Avira will soon have their antivirus products certified by Microsoft as Windows 8 compatible in the upcoming weeks.  When it comes to Windows 8 compatibility, Avira seems to be pretty late to the party…so to speak.
