Since there’s news of some hackers getting into Adobe Flash’s program, I thought a lot of you might want to know how to disable it until the problem is sorted out.
On Chrome:
Type chrome:plugins into the address bar
Find the Adobe Flash Player
Click Disable
On Firefox:
Go to Tools > Add-ons
Click on the Plugins tab
Find Shockwave Flash
Click Never Activate or Ask to Activate
I don’t have pics for firefox, but if you run into trouble I can try to help you through it.
It is absolutely unnecessary to
disable Adobe flash, that wont help you at all. This post makes everything sound worse than it is (there are no hackers btw.
Its just a vulnerability in the system ). Chill for a sec and read this
the only affected adobe flash versions are
Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.194 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh
Adobe Flash Player Extended Support Release version 13.0.0.296 and earlier 13.x versions for Windows and Macintosh
Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.468 and earlier 11.x versions for Linux
Most of us have the newest version
18.0.0.203. This one is not listed and safe. Before you uninstall anything make sure which version you have. If your version is one of the affected ones, go and update your flash to
