Re: Anybody know why Websense is blocking Flash player downloads?

Still checking into the cause but this was fixed yesterday within 10 minutes from a customer reporting it. Depending on 
your version you may need to update the database via a new download (most versions would have done this automatically).

It was indeed a false positive so no Adobe has not gone to the dark side.

See below... has Adobe gone to the Dark Side?

Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web
page at this time.

Reason:
 The Websense category "Illegal or Questionable" is filtered.
