How to avoid downloads forced via Flash in webmail?

Now, I get a lot of spam formatted in HTML and by referencing an object Flash malicious, supposed to show a video that does not work, but still who operates an immediate download of a malicious. EXE (a worm) file downloaded from the same site as the video.

Why just a preview of the HTML message in my webmail shows not only the malicious video component to the stop State (I don't click anywhere in the message), but which also immediately activates his javascript internal who starts a download immediately and that opens a new browser window?

I have found no solution to this problem; because it bans now me just preview messages before you delete them, I'll soon have to DROP FLASH completely.

Download a file should not be allowed by default in Flash, without user action, including launching when the component comes from another area than the area of the HTML message displayed (which is in the same area for potentially dangerous sites anyway).

I have install Flash to use the maximum security settings, it does not work. Those pesky spam kill Flsh compeltely for me.

Please Adobe find a way, where I can ban any flash component loaded from an unsecured area to use a download to a local drive, and the only possible interaction is to load the SWF file and start it in a non-active State where it displays only the first static video image and no script will be activated befire action explicit user.

For Flash, the action of the single user who initiates the download is a simple mousehover. This isn't really enough, because the SWF file covers the entire surface of your emails on the Internet (whose title is now "holaaaa!" and shows a video component Flash showing a Hispanic woman laughing).

I was not able to save a security copy of this spam without activating it in part. This SWF absolutely wants to force the download of 'FlashPlayer10.0.45.2.exe' which is NOT the original from Adobe and is infected, it also attempts to download other files, but as I block one, the remaining files do not appear.

I really think that it is a huge Flash security flaw, which is already exploited, now massively through spam (I receive copies of these spam referencing this worm - SWF about 5 or 6 times a day and this number is increasing, content has a text in Spanish, but it's not bad).

The HTML content of the spam contains just this malicious Flash:
<embed height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="634" src="http://www.users.qwest.net/~benpeg72/Secure/wanadoo.swf">
(Different URL is used for the same purpose Flash across worldwide on many fields and in many web spaces user or Articles enabling the Flash videos, it can already be blocked, when you read this).

Please review.

Hello verdy.

Thanks for also posting in my thread to alert me.

I'm fair to conclude that you receive this Spam through your e-mail program? If so, a possible security measure would be to turn off the display of the HTML content in the e-mail software (my Thunderbird e-mail software, done this way as default value).

If you want to bring that to attention Adobe, I recommend opening a pension matter as I don't know if this forum is regularly grazed by Adobe employees.

However, don't count on the vigilance of the Adobe employee who meets your support folder too.

Hope this helps,

Thomas

    Are you familiar with JavaScript?

    It does not completely answer your question, but the text displayed on the screen from any language (ActionScript/CreateJS / [insert the programming language]) generally all following the same path. Each language has a file stored in some form of key = value style, named through the language and the country of your choice, for example en_US.json

    Any language would allow the user to choose regional settings. The application would then grab the appropriate file and everywhere where the text is needed, the script must be using a (usually global or singleton) variable/service that can get the text of the requested key.

    for example if I wanted a user to have a confirmation of dialogue who said 'are you sure?"with buttons for 'Yes' and 'No', I would have (for me), an Englishman, USA base file en_US.json with these values, for example:

    en_US. JSON example:

    {

    'CONFIRM_YES_NO': ' are you sure?

    'YES': '' Yes. ''

    'NO': 'no '.

    }

    Then you use simply JS/AJAX to read this file. You analyze, or simply JSON decode in an object, or manually, depending on what suits your needs. When you want to display any text, you use the object (variable, maintenance, etc.) you have stored these values.

    for example calling to display function confirm dialogue:

    Nickname... but if you understand...

    and this comes from jQuery UI (see here)

    function confirmDialog() {}

    $(«#dialog-confirmer»).dialog({)

    Title: LocalizationObject ['CONFIRM_YES_NO'],

    buttons:]

    {

    text: LocalizationObject ["YES"],

    Click: function() {/ / do something for 'yes '.

    }

    {

    text: LocalizationObject ["NO"],

    Click: function() {/ / do something to the 'no '.

    }

    ]

    });

    }

    Please consider loosely. 'LocalizationObject' is a variable object or service that returns the appropriate text for the key that you provide. In this case, he provided the key 'CONFIRM_YES_NO', 'YES' and 'NO', which must be on the right answer for this key, localized.

    Again, this is not a manual on how to do it via Flash Pro but it's the general conceptual way you could do it in any language. There are a variety of other ways to do it, but it's a very simple way, as long as you keep your key names at least wake up verbose. A key name such as LocalizationObject ["ABC123"] is not really tell you what the key can be referred. Also nest them contributes greatly, as LocalizationObject ["UI'] ['DIALOGUES'] ['CONFIRM'] ['YES_NO'] = ' are you sure? It just shows I nested the title of the dialog within the user interface, because it is the text that appears in the user interface rather than content. Then inside dialog boxes that may contain a variety of different dialog boxes. Then inside her CONFIRM type of dialogue. Finally, the type is a dialogue YES_NO type (as opposed to OK_CANCEL or JUST_OK, etc.). Whole set makes it easy to understand what the text of reading: UI YES_NO confirm DIALOG boxes.

    I hope that from here you can see that you need to review everywhere you display text on the screen and centralize it in a sort of object (function or variable) of your choice. You must store the external language files to prevent unnecessarily load the other languages as well as an easy to modify Setup.

    The rest is just using basic JavaScript.

    Just be ready for the most difficult challenge. At least for me. The size of the text in several languages is very different, and in some cases requires the loading of special fonts. This can make layout in a very difficult dynamic environment. Always thinking all text how big or small can be in any particular and plan field on this size more and shrink so that to handle this situation correctly.

  • Fonts Download in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, how can avoid it?

    I am a user of Windows 7. I can't download the fonts or install my PC because of the Microsoft Office Picture Manager!
    When I installed a font in my PC, it shows itself as a zip file. After I try to open it but it goes to 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager', but I couldn't see any fonts or its zip files

    How to avoid this problem? Please help me...

    Hello Salim,

    1. what version of Microsoft Office Picture Manager is installed on the computer?
    2. what font you are trying to download and install?
    3. what program you use to unpack the fonts?

    When you are uncompressing the font, you will need to have a compatible program that will decompress the fonts.

    In addition, please refer to this article-
