Analyser
To assist users, TLF has provided a tool to analyse your software and provide links to relevant software updates. Please analyse your software on your computer before you proceed. This tool will open a new window and provide instructions on how to test your software online and, if necessary, how to download software updates.
Please note that Flash version 9.0 is recommended. Critical security advice from both Microsoft and Adobe is to upgrade to at least version 9.0 because of security problems with previous versions of Flash.
