  First let me say that I have the Adobe Flash updates set to ask me if I want to update flash. But in the past 2 days several of my browsers have had their flash version updated to version 23.0.0.207 from version 23.0.0.205 without asking me.  The browsers that were affected were Edge, IE, Maxthon 5, Maxthon Cloud and most recently Ghost Browser.

  The strangest part was what happened to Ghost Browser. Before the update there were 2 Flash files. one PPaPI pepper flash version 23.0.0.162 which was disabled and the other file was a  NPAPI flash version 23.0.0.205. Now both Flash files are PPAPI pepper flash. one is still 23.0.0.162 and the newest pepper flash file is 23.0.0.207. Never seen an update change a NPAPPI file to a PAPPI file before. Ghost seems to be working well but it is just weird what happened.

  Anyone else who has Flash updates set to ask have anything like this happen to them?

  I got the prompts to update, I didn't bother. Just checked and I'm still running 23.0.0.205.

  That's just it. I didn't update. For some reason my PC disregarded my having set up Flash updates to ask me and updated some of my browsers to 23.0.0.207 but not all of them on its own.
