****** Flash Player Vulnerability******
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 02:22 PM by BushDespiser12
Just a heads-up. My computer was compromised while using flash player v.9.xxxx. An .ocx file extension was manipulated and I lost my sound drivers. I HIGHLY recommend un-installing your Flash program (if you are using any version other than 10.xxxx) and Flash directX plugins using Add/Remove programs from the Control Panel. Then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ to install version 10.xxxx

Hope this saves someone the hassle that I experienced. :hi:

****** Java has released Version 6-Update 10******
Again, you need to uninstall all previous versions first, then go here http://java.com/en/download/


These are some of the easiest steps you can take to prevent malicious code from being installed on your computer. The old adage that "An ounce of prevention...." definitely applies here.
