Hi i where browsing half an hour ago on a news website and then randomly norton file insight message came up and said pepflashplayer.dll
is safe.
I know pepflashplayer is google chromes flash player and that it updates automaticly but the anoying thing is that i cant see in the file insight description where the file was downloaded from and it only has 5 users.
I am a bit suspicous of the file since the website i visited is a news site and it has been known for exploits before.
Norton safe search said it was ok though so i tought id give it a chance.
So the file (pepflashplayer.dll/version 12.0.0.70) that was downloaded can only be found in its folder when i press the file insights find function with in the file insight program.
But when i try to find it manualy in the explorer like the folder directions shows it after pressing the track/find function,
C:\Users\Carina\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\12.0.0.70
it takes stop after C:\User\Carina this means after Carina i cant find any folder called AppData OR Local, manualy wich i find very strange if its the file pathway it has.
I Did how ever find it when i search Local in the Explorer and the map shows up but then again it says Local is under C:\Users\Carina\AppData wich is a pathway that cant be found manualy.
And this got me thinking isn't it supose to be under Program x86 ? so i went C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\PepperFlash
and there where two pepflashplayer.dll one version 12.0.0.41 and the other one 12.0.0.44.
*But not* the version 12.0.0.70 that just got downloaded and is signed under
C:\Users\Carina\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash.
So i guess what i am asking is why is the pepflashplayer.dll version 12.0.0.70 that just got downloaded in a new folder on its own and not with the older versions in x86 ?
it says its downloaded from unkown source in file insight description aswell, wich makes me even more worried not knowing if its from google chrome or not.
Cheers Krister.
