With My OS being Vista, It appears I am only able to have Opera 36.0 on my system. Following advice given I have downloaded Flash Player(fp_22.0.0.209 and am now able to view content I wasn't able to before.
I worry though that in doing this I am at greater risk of my computer being exposed to all kinds of viruses and malware, so can somebody tell me please when the latest version of Flash Player will be released that addresses the problems afflicting Flash Player when used in conjunction with Opera browser.
Thank you.

I have a Windows Vista OS and use Opera as my browser. Like many others, it appears, Flash Player is no longer working for me in Opera. I don't want to revert to an earlier version, because I worry I may be exposing my computer to all sorts of viruses and malware, so I'm waiting patiently for Adobe to devise a fix for the version of Flash Player that serves Opera in Windows.
Can somebody please advise me if they think my wait will have a positive outcome?
Thank you.
