Adobe flash player settings manager

I always knew adobe flash could be exploited but I didn't know how.



You can use the flash player settings to see the websites you have visited and change security settings.

here:

On the left you will find the setting manager links which will show you the sites you have visited and see the sites that allow third party content.

There is more than one panel to explore. This is a snipping of just one of your panel managers. This one is blank because I have already deleted all of the websites it was showing for my computer.

Flash is a big security hole. Some website that you've gone to for ages can suddenly bite you in the rear because today's ad rotation has a flash ad showing that infects your system. The site itself may know nothing about it.

I have flashblock on all my browsers.

Yes, it is.

I have flashblock too, but every time I have played something, even just giving temporary permission, the website will set permissions and if the third party check box is ticked then, those third party sites will have permissions too.


Today's motto.
We just don't know what we don't know 'till we know it. :P
