Macromedia Flash problem : Secunia software inspector

My most recent online scan at
Secunia software inspector
shows three entries for Macromedia Flash Player.

Two of them are version 9.0.124.0 which is the current version.
According to the listings in Revo Uninstaller, they refer to:
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX
Adobe Flash Player Plugin

The other is version 7.0.14.0 which is labeled as insecure.
The specific file listed is :
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx

I think I had this problem before, but don't remember how to fix this.

Can someone tell me how to repair this?

Thanks.

Think I have it fixed?

I used the Adobe Flash uninstall utility and then
re-installed from Adobe here

May the farce be with us :-D

Hi there,

I also have this problem. Secunia PSI (RC3) is showing that these programs are Insecure:

Adobe Flash Player 9.x (ActiveX Control) - version 9.0.47.0
Adobe Flash Player 9.x (General Plug-in) - version 9.0.45.0
Macromedia Flash Player 6.x - version 6.0.79.0

Is this something to worry about - ie: should I remove and reinstall these programs? This is as annoying as hell because they are part of other programs and I can never get them to re-install into the right place.

Or... is Secunia just giving me a false alarm??? Advice please?
:confused
Thanks for listening!
