OK, so the new version has also put a file that I've never seen: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\activex.vch and
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\activex.vch
Any ideas? Still going to quarantine them. |

I'll put both files (activex.vch and plugin.vch) into Quarantine folder and see how it goes...

Ghostery blocks redirects to ad sites when I try to check to see the current version of Flash and then blocks redirects to MORE, DIFFERENT ad sites after I install the latest version and try to check to see if it is working correctly. I have never seen Ghostery do this in the past.
edit: I see why Ghostery did that. That is that damn HSTS Preload crap shit on Fx 10 ESR. I didn't even notice that Adobe is now HTTPS on Fx. BUT on IE8 I get HTTP for Adobe and the site is filtered through Proxo so I have toggle switches for Adobe Flash. Proxo is bypassed for HTTPS sites, but I guess I am going to finally have to break down and install the files for Proxo to do HTTPS filtering. Damn Mozilla! There has got to be a way to turn this off on Fx. It is NOT in Opera yet although it was reported in this forum as being in Opera 12.02 but that is not true. It's just Mozilla and Google pushing this and it makes for a huge mess in Firefox especially earlier versions of Fx.
Opera 12.02 says the https (HSTS Preload crap) version of Adobe's Flash "about" page is INSECURE. Opera asked me about two nasty ad sites that were using certs from Cert Authorities that I have UNtrusted in Certificate Manager. That explains Ghostery blocking them on Fx 10. Fx 10 simply accepted the certs without first asking me about them even though I have those Cert Authorities UNtrusted on Fx also. Fx is now completely unreliable when it comes to HSTS Preload sites.

Perhaps something to do with DRM?

I could be wrong, but it seems in the past, after install, you were given the option on how you want to update. Now it looks like if you are already set for automatic updates, you are no longer provided that dialog. If you have turned off automatic updates, then you are still prompted. |

LaRRY_PEpPeR  , thank you for the reference. I'm not going to watch DRM protected porn. Now both files (activex.vch and plugin.vch) are removed. I'm trying to keep my computers DRM-free.

There are two ADS files included in both of those (activex.vch and plugin.vch). I could have deleted just the ADS but I too don't do DRM stuff so I deleted both entire files not just the hidden ADS files.
