Software updater - Flash Player not updating

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Firefox alerted me that Flash Player was out of date, I checked and it is. I tried to update with Avast’s Software updater which is what I normally use but it says it’s up to date when it isn’t. Is anyone else having this problem?

2

What version do you have ?
What version is avast reporting ?

3

Avast says I’m using version 25.0.0.171, I know version 26.0.0.131 is available.

4

I would say update manually and see what avast is saying after you have done so.

5

Ok I will try a manual update. Strangely enough I have Flash Player set to alert me of updates but it never does.

6

Manual update worked, Avast is correctly saying version 26.0.0.131. I don’t know why it didn’t alert me before.

Guess there was a glitch in the database.

My OS is Windows 7 - 64bit SP1. My Browser is Firefox 54.0. Avast normally updates both Active X and Plugin versions of Flash Player.

Edit
This was a reply to a post which has been removed.

Yes I removed it as I missed your signature stating you were using win7.

In win10 the WU patch Tuesday updates the IE activeX flash Player. I don’t believe this is the case in win7 and avast should be able to update, as you found on the manual update.

Same here even with 170620-2 VPS on 3 pcs
But this is very often the case with software updater in the hours / days that follow the official flashplayer update
There is a small delay, it seems some time.
I’ll tell you when avast will report version 25.0.0.171 as obsolete

Edit june 26th : 25.0.0.171 still reporting as up to date

11

same here, Avast still reporting Flash Player Plugin 25.0.0.171 as up to date

Hello,

thank you for the information. There was a problem with Adobe Flash in SoftwareUpdater, so it showed outdated version as the latest. Problem is already solved, the fix will be released with today’s VPS update.

Regards.

Hello! I was alerted that my Flash Player Plugin needed to be updated (Adobe alerted me). When I go into Avast Performance and see that it is ready to updated I click on the highlighted button but nothing happens?
