Not sure if this is the right place to post this but:
Avast Software Updater is telling me that Flash Player Activex (Windows 8) needs updating from 19.0.0.207 to 19.0.0.226
When I click update, update fails. When I go to Control Panel>Programs and Features, there is no ActiveX listed. Is there a way to fix this?
Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows update will inform you when the new versions of the Flash Player are available.
What version of Windows are you running? if it’s Windows 8 or 10 then it looks after itself, Flash Player for lower Windows versions can be checked via the Flash Player tab in control panel for the version currently installed…if you have the latest then Avast is detecting wrongly.
As I said earlier…Flash Player Active X for Windows 8 and 10 look after themselves, you cant update them as they are done via the Windows Update function which is why you got the error when trying to install.
