Google Chrome, Adobe Flash, Reader and Shockwave Player updates being distributed to MD7 Workstations – June 2015

After successful MD UAT Testing we have released Google Chrome 43.0.2357.124, Adobe Reader 11.0.11,  Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.160 and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1.8.158 to MD7 workstations. These updates have been released in order to resolve critical flaws with the previous versions. They are being distributed in a phased roll out so it will take a few days to be applied to MD7 Lab and Office workstations and will only install when the workstation is at the ctrl+alt+del screen.
 
In order to check which version of Google Chrome is installed on your workstation, start Chrome and check the version number.

NPAPI support disabled within Google Chrome
Google Chrome 43.0.2357.124 is the first Chrome update that we have distributed that has NPAPI support disabled. Java and Shockwave are NPAPI plugins, so they will be disabled in Chrome, as will any other NPAPI plugins. Information on NPAPI deprecation in Google Chrome can be found here
