Jan 2015 updates to Chrome, Adobe Reader, Flash and Shockwave

Posted on by

After successful MD UAT Testing IS&T have released:

  • Google Chrome 39.0.2171.99
  • Adobe Reader 11.0.10
  • Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.257
  • Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1.6.156

These updates have been released in order to resolve critical flaws with the previous versions.

They are being distributed in a phased roll out to all Managed Desktop workstations and will take a few days to be applied to MD7 Lab and Office workstations as the updates will only install when the workstation is at the ctrl+alt+del login screen.
