    This new version, as it has been published by Adobe, removes the option to change flash player settings via an URL link in the the browser settings. Those flash player settings should now be part of the browser itself.

    But, where the heck is it? I'm running Chromium, by the way.

    -edit-

    Never mind, it's not this version yet. lol

    What is the difference between getting from macromedia.com and adobe?
    Are they part of same company?

    Adobe acquired Macromedia a few years ago.

    Sorry folks thanks, yes I've seen that now. Just getting a little confused with
    different links available. Think really what I wondered was whether there was
    any difference in file dloaded from each location as regards "slimness"?
    Thanks very much.

    Bo's link also doesn't include Adobe DLM or any other junk.

    Can anyone please verify the MD5 hash on NPSWF32.dll? The file I'm getting has the very suspicious quality of having a 'Modified on' date of Tomorrow.

    The MD5 I'm seeing is: f04ed4e1b779a5e4e45fc1130a314044

    Indeed, you're thinking of the 10.3 beta which has it in the Windows control panel. Now should one downgrade because of this exploit or wait it out?

    Hrm. Grabbed another copy from the links above, and I'm seeing more normal behavior now. Must've been a fluke. Thanks for the verification!
