Beware Of Using the New Adobe Flash Player 11.3

The new adobe flash player 11.3 has filled in many bugs and holes from that of the previous versions but it still lags behind in a lot of aspects.

First of all it still is not secure from viruses and most of the viruses and trojans find their way through it still has many holes to fill.

Secondly there are cases that computers have been hacked the most when they are viewing videos using flash player, it seems like there is a big hole in its interface which allows hackers to easily access the persons account. The best way to prevent this (at the moment) is to log out of you're account then view the video and if you want to comment disable the flash player plugin and then log in again.

Lastly it seems that adobe is taking advantage of computer illiterate people. Adobe has added a new advertisement that opens up as soon as flash player is installed. It leads to a page about iolo PC health check software which is to be used to cleanup bad registries and keep the PC fit.

Well it would have been very nice of putting this advertisement unless iolo cleanup is total crap. In a newly assembled PC with Windows 7 it showed that there were about 250+ problems in the registry and other files of which all, other than 3, are serious threats. Well, this could mean 2 things-

1st- The iolo software is total crap, or

2nd- Adobe flash player is in itself capable of ruining a newly assempled PC with nothing other than it in it (other than windows7).

The iolo software comes with a $10 one time subscription or a $30 yearly subscription. But according to reviews and my tests it comes out to be that the software doesn't do any good to the computer. There is no need to use it.

I guess that it is because of all these problems that apple doesn't want Adobe to interfare with its iOS.
