Reader version 17.0.0.169 (for ActiveX) for Windows 8

[drwmacvsog]

Reader version 17.0.0.169 (for ActiveX) is latest but Microsoft doesn't have it available for Windows 8 and YOUR site won't allow me to download it myself. Please make it available. Version 17.0.0.134 is a vulnerable version. I don't want to have to wait on Microsoft to fix vulnerabilities in IE on Windows 8.

There is no such thing as "Reader version 17.0.0.169"; from the version number I can only assume that you mean Flash Player.

Microsoft offers the Flash Player update (ActiveX for Windows 8.x) via Windows Update; see https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2755801

The update is also available on the Adobe website, but you should really update through "normal means" (Windows Update).
