I have Adobe flash and reader on my computer and have just updated both yet my legal updated version of Kaspersky Antivirus keeps listing Adobe as having vulnerabilities. Does anyone else have this experience? What’s the problem? Should I just ignore it?

Sometimes the DLL of a program usually is spotted as a virus. Don’t worry.

Kaspersky do not spot the older version as malware or any of the vulnerabilities as malware. The reason why it keeps flagging up as vulnerable is because of the older version of .ocx or a .dll still existing in the Flash folder of Macromed in System32. I got Kaspersky and I use the Flash Player Uninstaller to solve it.
Close the browser, including the messenger and run the Flash Player Uninstaller. which will remove the folder and then re-install the Flash Player again, and then run Kaspersky’s Vulnerability Scanner, or if you got the earlier version; the ‘Security Analyzer’ and it will come up clean.
