Working towards a safer experience

I was looking at some website statistics and it turns out that a whopping 68.8% of my visitors have an older (and insecure) version of the Adobe flash player installed in their browser. Let's all work together to get that percentage down, shall we?

Get Adobe Flashplayer. Latest release for windows is 9.0 r47, latest release for linux is 9.0 r48.

After installing, try removing files of the old install that may be scattered all over your harddisk. An easy way to find out where those are lurking is by using the secunia Personal Software Inspector, which can be downloaded here : Secunia PSI (0.1.0.2 beta).

That's it for now, I'm off to install and educate an end-user on using POPfile to help him deal with spam. It'll be a long day...
