What is the recommended action in response to the Safety Advisory 04/06/10 to Adobe for Flash Player?

Adobe Security Advisory: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa10-01.html

"Is a critical vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris operating systems... »

The addon Flashblock 1.5.13 is able to prevent this vulnerability? I am hesitant to install it because of recent poor user reviews.

Any suggestions or advice are appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Bill.
Flashblock will block the market Flash objects unless you explicitly allow them. I used to use Flashblock, but I do not have for some time. So, Yes, it will do the job. I only see a bad double-posted review for Flashblock. The average rating is always 5 stars.

Instead, I use NoScript, which blocks all scripts on the page Flash and other plugins unless expressly authorized by you. It may be a stretch to deal with this vulnerability.

You can disable the Flash plugin until you are sure that you are on a secure site, it needs, such as YouTube, in tools-> Modules-> Plugins.

You can also try the pre-release version of Flash 10.1, which, according to Adobe, seems not to be vulnerable. Make sure you follow the instructions to uninstall any old version of Flash before installing 10.1. I used it without a problem for a while.

You can be very well as long as you avoid unknown sites. Once there is a malicious site, Firefox blocks with built in site and phishing site protection against attacks.

    Hi people,

  • What is the future of interactive ebooks, according to Adobe? (Because right now, it sucks)

    I work in the school edition (for most of the manuals). I am a graphic designer and I've worked with interactive books for 2010. The current situation in the production and distribution of interactive books sucks. And I must say I am puzzled by the decisions and strategies of Adobe. By using the tools and technologies Adobe, it seems impossible to create interactive manuals which can be sold and distributed to a wide audience.

    Let me explain what I mean, and tell me if this is your case... Am I missing something?

    I - interactive PDFs suck

    If you want to create an interactive PDF that you want to distribute freely and that people will read on their computers, it's great. You have a lot of tools to create interactivity, navigation, videos, sounds and other place. Rich in creative tools, easy to use... It's great. But if you want to read this great interactive PDF, you have created... on a Tablet (that's what an eBook is supposed to allow, is it not?), then you're fucked. On the iPad, Adobe Reader software cannot play videos, sounds, forms and of course anything in Flash technology. You can only use hyperlinks and build a kind of navigation. What makes a very lame "interactive book".

    Of course, you can use PDF Expert or ezPDF Reader to play videos and use your interactive PDF forms, but what happens if you want to sell the book (you know, to pay the salaries of your employees, etc..)?

    If you want to sell the book, you have two options:

    OPTION 1-selling DRM-free and ask everyone to please do not illegally distribute (.. .and if you know something about human nature, this is a lost cause) or...

    OPTION 2-sales with a DRM, which makes your PDF impossible to read in an application that manages video or any kind of interactivity. If you get stuck trying to sell an 'interactive' PDF which is basically just a normal PDF. Sucking of interactive PDF files.

    II - EPUB suck

    EPUB is excellent for novels and books without any fancy layout. I get it. But if you want to have control over typography, page layout and design of your book (you know, what a graphic designer did for a living), well the epub gives you nothing. Layout fixed EPUB is difficult to work with and InDesign gives near zero tools to make them. You must work in the code and twist it. So, is this the solution? Is the answer to what Adobe? Zero Adobe tools and coding in TextWrangler?

    What about EPUB 3? I'm still waiting to see any good and beautiful interactive book using this technology. Even the examples on the International Digital Publishing Forum are unstable. The industry is very slow in adopting this format, to say the least. It seems dead on arrival. InDesign can export to Epub3, but is not any tool to help you to create interactivity. It doesn't seem like Adobe is really pushing this technology in any case. EPUB suck.

    III - Sodo from Digital Publishing Suite

    DPS is very good if you want to create apps just for iPad. If you want to create content for Android, it's a little more complicated, but it can be done. But if you want your DPS interactive books to be read on a PC or a MAC, it seems impossible (did I miss something?). You cannot export your book to these platforms. 99% of our audience are students. Their tool is a computer. They do not attend the class with an iPad. They bring their computer. So that we cannot make the manuals for them. DPS sucks.

    So, what is the future of interactive books according to Adobe?

    1 - is the interactive PDF? Have we not wait until the Adobe Reader software can read really interactive Adobe PDF with DRM?

    2 - is the EPUB? Then why Adobe seem to be so inactive in the development of tools that could help create the good interactive EPUB?

    3-is DPS? So is it possible to read on a computer? If not, is aware that the manual whole publishing industry cannot use this technology in Adobe?

    IMO, Adobe gives up interactive PDFs because it was mostly flash based, it doesn't care EPUB3 and offers a minimum support just because a designer in need and he puts all his energy into the DPS and tries to create a format that he order.

    For now, interactive design and production books suck. Am I missing something?

    Something is in the wind. I can feel it... but I can't talk about... Stay tuned.

  • What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

    Adobe ended in favor of Flash Player 10.3 July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere where I can find. 11.7 said Adobe is now the version 'extended' version. Since 10.3 is the only solution when the latest version of Flash Player will not work with Firefox, what do we do now? I tested each version of Flash Player after 10.3, and each begins to crash several times after 24 hours. Each time, retired to 10.3 is the only solution. The other suggestions in the help of Firefox do not work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - later. It does not work with Firefox. Now, I could install only 11.7. She has not has not yet, but it'll probably be tomorrow.

    If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 do not work, and 10.3 is not available, what can we do?

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • How can I stop the Google downloads when you perform an update of Flash player?

    Whenever I'm doing an update of Adobe Flash Player the Google Chrome and download the update of Flash Player toolbar. Is anyway to stop what is happening before the fact, rather than having to remove two Google programs after the download? It's very boring and that devious on the part of Adobe and Google! I use Windows 7 with IE10. I don't have Google chrome.

  • Uninstall the GUID for Flash Player Plugin 16.0.0.257

    Hello

    While the GUID of the ActiveX of Flash Player 16.0.0.257 working properly during the uninstallation, the GUID for the PluginX (NPAPI) it does nothing for me.

    My question is, can someone check this, or tell me how to get the GUID value? I was looking in the windows registry and get values of powershell, but Adobe Flash Player guid was not found there.

    The previous GUID for plug-ins (other browsers) for the old versions of flash worked perfectly, but the new GUID unfortunately does not work properly. I tried to do this on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Still no idea.

    Could someone help me? The GUID can be founded here: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/msi-guids-windows.html
