tux99 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks for the info, I'm becoming more and more concerned about the closed-source status of such a security sensitive application llike the flash plugin, I'm starting to not feel confortable to run it at all on my desktop PC anymore.
