Re: Company Bypasses Cookie-Deleting Consumers

Thanks TeMerc and B. I had gone through some of the Flash settings in the past but never realized the extent of them. I'll check out the consequences of some of the settings today and post if someone doesn't beat me to it. Of course you can always disable Flash except when you really need it.

Or keep it totally off your computer like I've chosen to do.

Would you post how you are keeping Flash totally off your computer, Owlbet?

SpywareBlaster, when the option is checked, blocks versions 4, 5, & 6 and I use WinXP with SP2, and it lets me know via the Information Bar when Active X wants to install software. If I've not initiated the installation, I don't install it, plain & simple. I can guarantee 100% that I don't have Flash in any shape or form on my home computer.

same here! if a site does not have a non-flash page then i don't really need to visit said site

EDIT: --and yes it is possible to never install flash in the first place and/or be prompted when it wants to install itself.
