wow. i needed a laugh. i cracked up at the first 2. glad i downloaded the flash player. thnx fellas.

[Chewy]

I went for almost a year and about half of those videos wouldn't play, I had been answering no to install the player thinking it was dangerous?

[dr_ml422]

some identification w/having to download then maybe having to remove it because of bugs, or w/e. that's mainly why i'm so hesitant about adding anything not really needed. pita to do a clean install, and get things back to normal, especially after having everything set up w/the power user settings, and system resource sticky. thnx. thought i was running on paranoid mode.

on a more important note, keep your java cleaned up

and watch out for bad sites using flash to insert malware

[dr_ml422]

how do you clean up java?

[Chewy]

java control panel

but first make sure you are running the latest and don't have a mess in add/remove programs

they are now reccomending that you download the standalone installer and uninstall all versions before reinstalling in some cases

malware is moving to exploit flash and java as we close more holes in our protection

i use firefox. do they do automatic updates 4 java? i have java set to b enabled. or is java totally independent, and firefox just has the option 4 u? if have to manually then where? thnx.

[Chewy]

firefox seems to have a better handle on it?

I am really just getting started with this kind of stuff, totally confuseing mess

[dr_ml422]

yeah i know. imagine where i'm at w/all this. i haven't even got into the security script features posted in the firefox thread. i'm good 4 now. don't cruise much, but added security can't hurt. gotta do a lot of reading n searching. i'll easy does it, but do it.

those script blockers and allowed site functions worth it?

[Chewy]

firefox without no script is asking for trouble, might as well stick with IE 7

[dr_ml422]

well. i'm not about to upgrade to IE 7 right now. have IE6. no telling what this change would do. doesn't firefox need IE period to be able to be used when you have a pc?

[Chewy]

windows update and a few other sites are IE only, but there are ways around even that

[dr_ml422]

windows update and a few other sites are IE only, but there are ways around even that

ok. so i use firefox. u mean the upgrade to IE 7 wouldn't affect anything if little, and at the same time increase security for firefox, even though they're 2 different browsers?

[Chewy]

ie 7 will not help firefox or windows

the malware forums are full of people running ie 7 and vista

increased security my donkey

[dr_ml422]

i get u now. long day chewy. you were making a joke about IE 7 in the above post. well going to have to hit that firefox thread, and get what i can. r the tutorials in mozilla the place 2 go 4 any ?'s or guides on enabling security features like the script blockers? if anything i could always post here what i can't find. that i know. lol...
