Browser and Flash player Problems

Hi everyone, i have found this on another B.P. forum, this may also be revalent to us at R.C.
the post is as follows.
Should you encounter an issue with your internet browser not loading the Flash player, ensure that you update both your Flash player and browser to their latest version.

All browsers and the Flash player are offering comprehensive options that allow these programs to automatically update.

Due to the necessity for having security measures that are completely up to date, we would advise you to use the auto-update option for critical software such as this. This is vital as, unlike with Bigpoint products, there are many sites and pages out there that pose a real risk to your data and are able to take advantage of any weaknesses in previous software versions.

You may have also noticed that certain browsers no longer support, or have even blocked, these vulnerable previous versions of Flash player. They will, however, run the latest fixed version of Flash. This has been done with the best intention of minimizing the risk to users of these browsers.

Bigpoint takes all potential steps to ensure that its community and players are fully up to date with critical software developments that can impact on either their security or their enjoyment of our games.

 

I would like to add that you should be very careful when updating your Flash player, and be sure you are using the auto-update or the actual website maintained by your Flash player's publisher. There are pop-up mimics out there that provide supposed links to download updates which are not actually connected to the Flash player and which can compromise your computer's security. Such false links often request you to manually open your Flash player's .exe file which is something the actual website and/or auto-update will not do. The safest thing to do when encountering such pop-ups is to close it and go directly to your Flash player website for updates (making sure yo9u enable the auto-update function when you install your player). In this way you can avoid any questionable links and most (bug/virus) threats.
