The rest of the top 10 most out-of-date software list is as follows. While not in the top 10, the Flash Player Plugin, distributed with other browsers, is also a serious offender, with 38% of all installs running non-current versions. Avast says that 99% of all Flash Player Active X installs are out of date.
Second to Java is our old friend Flash Player, the Active X version deployed with Internet Explorer.
Avast telemetry shows that around 56 million users run an out-of-date Java version, almost 50% of the entire install base, with half of this (25% of all Java installs) running the ancient Java 6 and 7 versions. The distinction of "least updated software" goes to Oracle's Java. On average, a user has around 49 applications installed on his computer, but Avast says that 52% of these are out-of-date. More than half of active software installs are out-of-date The data from Avast's report was gathered via AVG TuneUp’s Automatic Software Updater feature, therefore, it also included details on the version number of each software package. The rest of the top 10 is made up by Firefox, the Flash Player Plugin, Skype, VLC Player, WinRAR, Java, and Adobe AIR. This is one of several findings of a report from Czech security giant Avast, which aggregated anonymous usage data from a whopping of 116 million PCs.Īccording to Avast, second to Google Chrome in term of the number of active installs is Adobe's Reader app, followed by Flash Player (Active X version). As everyone kind of expected, Google Chrome, the world's leading browser with a comfortable market share of above 50%, is also the most installed software package.
