Specifically, Microsoft asks the user to remove Flash Player 6.0 as a multimedia player plugin for multi-known to contain bugs. Microsoft initially did not consider products of such third parties, but considering the Adobe Flash Player products come on-bundling with Windows XP, then Microsoft needs to remind the user. Adobe itself does not get security support for Flash Player 6.0 in the year 2006 that packaged with Windows XP.
The weakness is happening in Adobe occurs when the combination of the old version of Flash Player with older versions of Windows that does not speaket with Flash.
