IE security download - Flash killer

Im sure by now that Microsoft and Macromedia are aware of the
issues with Flash and IE. Hopefully theyve taken steps to correct
the problem. Anyone have any updated info about the Windows
security update that made navigating flash webpages a pain in the
butt? Specifically any coding trick on how to get around it within
my own sites pages and how to make it easier for me to view pages,
without having to click here and click here again, and again, and
again?

>I wasnt aware, It wasnt an issue for me until just
recently and it has
>become a huge issue. What is it with this patent? And
even more important,
>why do they introduce problems in an automatic update?
My goodness .. you really are out of touch
It is the patent EOLAS hold on running applications from
within a browser
via tags in the web page. It covers both Netscape et al embed
tags and
applet tags and object tags. Basically this little company
that exists
solely to keep patents holds the patent on the technology for
any
interactive applications that run automatically in a web page
(including
flash movies etc). They don't actually have any products ..
just a patent.
EOLAS sued MS for over $500 million for breach of the patent
(MS and
Netscape developed embed and object tags and activex controls
etc
independently of EOLAS).
Fortunately, the patent does NOT cover the case when an
external text file
(eg JavaScript) is part of the process, nor does it cover the
case where the
user has to start the application.
So .. in order to avoid having to pay massive licensing fees
to this
pip-squeak patent-shark company (which would spell the end
for a free
internet explorer), MS have had to change IE so that you
either have to
click on the activex control (eg flash movie) OR it has to
make use of
external JavaScript (ie the web page author uses different
techniques in the
html for the web page).
This change to IE is part of IE for good now. The recent
security/update to
IE installs the changes required. You cannot take them out
(but you CAN get
a temporary patch that removes the change until June/July
sometime .. I
forget when exactly).
This whole issue has been in the news for weeks (hundreds, if
not thousands,
of articles on it). It has also been (and continues to be)
discussed in
these forums/newsgroups. Do a search here, or a google search
and you'll
find out lots of info (maybe too much) on the subject.

Such behavior can be an indication that you are infected.<br />
In such a case you can use another computer to download the program and save the file to an USB stick.<br />
Be sure to download the latest databases.
You can try an online anti-virus scanner.

Can not download flash player 10

Everytime i try to download Flash Player 10 on my computer a
pop-up says It can't authenticate(mind my spelling) installer. I
have no idea why it is doing this. if anyone can help please
help

Hi LeeEnix-
Why so many downloads? Couldn't get FP to work? IE and
Firefox (non-IE browsers) have different methods of
downloading/installing. I'm guessing you're XP or Vista. System
Restore should've given you back your previous (and hopefully
working) FP.
BUT, you need to uninstall before reinstalling, or it kinda
jams up on ya.
Flash uninstall Tool:
http://www.adobe.com/go/t_n14157
AV progs and IE security can both block the installation.
Check IE/Tools/Internet Options/Security. Reset your zones to the
default levels.

Downloading Flash Player plays advertisement -- and installs a virus?

I've had this problem 3 times consecutively trying to restore my system after it was destroyed by what seems to be a virus. It took that many tries before I realized the in-your-face advertisement and problem process are coming from Adobe itself.
THE PROBLEM
The apparently viral process runs as SVCHOST and uses the RasMan (remote access manager) service, apparently to transmit the contents of your hard drive to someone across the internet. It takes 99% of CPU, 1/2 Gig of memory, a lot of disk activity, and high transmit volume with low receive volume over the network. Unplug the network, and the SVCHOST falls to about 35% CPU with more intermittent disk activity. Plug the network back in, and it climbs back to 99% with high disk activity, and high transmit volume. It seems clear that it's copying the hard drive out to the network. Before I realized that, I thought it might be an internal process and just let it run to get it over with. It just got worse, finally running the machine out of memory and making it almost too slow to terminate the SVCHOST. When I finally did terminate it, the machine returned to normal.
WHY I THINK IT COMES FROM ADOBE
I restored my system to a known clean state from a disk image. I've done that 5 times now. The first thing I do on booting the restored system is wait and check for that process -- it's not there. Next, I update Firefox, then wait again. No problem, as long as you don't click on the Update Flash Player link. Then you click on that link, and immediately there's a pop-up and it plays audio saying "You've won a free Xbox", or else some other advertisement -- it's not always the same -- and also opens a tab to a site outside of both Firefox and Adobe. Some advertising site. So, I first thought I'd been spoofed by a false advertisement and unwittingly clicked on a malicious ad banner. Restored the system again, and next time went directly to Adobe. Clicked the link to download Flash Player, and... immediately, a similar ad popup and tab appeared, and it played a "congratulations! .... you've won ____" audio clip.
Right after each incident where the ad appeared, the computer began bogging down with disk activity and high CPU consumption by that SVCHOST process, and apparently copying out the hard drive to the internet (high network transmit activity).
IT'S NOT THE PLAYER ITSELF
I never even got around to downloading and installing the player. The trouble started right after that ad popping up.
CONCLUSION
So, Adobe has sold out. Not only is Flash responsible for most viruses transmitted, now just to get the player Adobe itself is shoving an obnoxious ad in our faces which installs a trojan. A Malwarebytes scan before the Adobe-shoved ad came up clear. Another scan after the Adobe-shoved ad detected a trojan and attempted to remove it, but it just comes back every time you restart the machine, and copies your business machine's hard drive out to the network.
So, Adobe, who has obtained copies of my business's intellectual property (I'm a software developer) and financial records, as well as sensitive data such as accounts and passwords?
CONSEQUENCES
Incidentally, this came at the moment when I was transitioning from developing native applications for desktop and mobile platforms. It was my intention to transition to using Adobe Flex for most work in the next few years at least. I had the Flash Builder on two of my systems, and was starting to work with it.
But this incident, combined with numerous past incidents that have made me absolutely hate both Flash and Adobe, was the final straw. I have deleted all Adobe products from all of my systems, and will not be using Adobe Flash or Flex or any other Adobe products for development or anything else. Now I understand why Steve Jobs also dumped Adobe -- it's nothing but a viral company! Adobe itself is like a virus.
Thanks for wasting a day on a holiday weekend trying to restore my system just so I can resolve a minor customer issue. Thanks, gals. Hope you enjoy the millions you get from that advertisement, but in my case it caused me to return to native development for all platforms instead of using Flash, Air, Flex, or any of the other viral stuff you use to invade 99% of all systems on the planet and then shove ads and more spyware on us.
I've also uninstalled Photoshop. (The uninstallation took 45 minutes.) I can just use GIMP, it's good enough now. Adobe = BANNED, because all that Adobe stands for anymore is VIRAL.
Thanks again

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to include:
-- Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) running on a 1.9 MHz Turion X2, with 2G memory
-- Already-installed Flash version was 10.x, I think 10.1, but hadn't been updated for months since it was a restored backup.
-- Firefox 3.6.13, just updated to 3.6.18 (yes, I've tried 4.0, it was slow and annoying, so I went back)
-- Other software on the machine: Microsoft Office, development tools (Visual Studio, Eclipse with Andriod and RIM plugins, BlackBerry JDE, Sun Java SDK, Firefox, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Adobe Reader, Adobe AIR, Adobe Shockwave, Flash Builder, and a few old trusted versions of minor utilities such as WinZip, DivX, Grep, etc.)
-- Only changes for several months were: Installed Flash Builder, updated Firefox, tried to update Flash Player
I only reacted this way because I've lost SO MUCH time and also data, adding up no doubt to YEARS of time, primarily because the platforms of two companies (Microsoft and Adobe) are like warm, moist, undressed flesh wounds that just invite every kind of infection to enter and flourish. It's not just their prevalence, it's their design. For example, why can a Flash program insert native code into a SVCHOST, when it's nearly impossible to figure out what's running in the SVCHOST, what it's doing, where it came from, and how to kill it permanently? That just creates conditions favorable to malware.
Anyway, after restoring my system to a snapshot of a known clean state, I first selected Check for Updates in Firefox, it downloaded it update. Then I unplugged from the net before letting it restart and install, and it did its thing. Then I plugged back in and went directly to www.adobe.com, selected Flash Player under Downloads, clicked Download Now, and then up popped the advertisement right after the click.
Previously, I let Firefox finish its update still plugged in -- it took me to their site, where a banner appeared saying Flash needed to be updated. I clicked that, and a similar ad popped up (for a different product, and using a different URL, but the same type of thing -- an instant audio message and a new tab plus a small pop-up.)
So it seems clear that Adobe has decided to make some extra millions by forcing everyone who downloads Flash Player (at least from a Windows machine last night and this morning) to hear "Congratulations! You've just won an imaginary Xbox 360 in compensation for letting our ad partners copy your hard drive and pay us money at your expense -- you thought Adobe would just give you a Player for free?! If you're further stupid enough to try to claim your imaginary prize, just enter more personal information, as well as the address and phone number of your girlfriend, because what Flash is all about is invading the home, popping up and penetrating the market by force, never really taking NO for an answer -- we'll just starve her and keep asking until she says Yes."
Ruthless advertising is just completely out of control on the internet. When you show up on the site of a major company and get hit with an obnoxious scam pop-up ad that's just like something you'd get from making the mistake of visiting some unknown website -- you know, the kind that escape the borders of the window and say you've just won a million dollars, and that are usually followed by a phony "virus scanner" taking over your machine any moment -- then internet ethics have been completely overrun by the glut for advertising money and collecting valuable information from users.
Can't BELIEVE I got a pop-up ad and spyware from trying to download Flash Player directly from Adobe's site, what is this company coming to? I don't remember the details exactly, but there was some other instance -- with Reader, I think -- where they were bundling spyware with it, and doing it in a way that you would not realize it would be installed, and then it was hard to get rid of completely. There was a big row about it, and I remember having to restore my system multiple times there too, to ensure no contamination. That's why I'd gone back to an earlier version of Reader, but now I've deleted all Adobe software completely. It is the most unethical of all the big technology companies, no-one is more ruthless or viral than Adobe.
You've got plenty of money, you're rolling in money, and you resort to stuff that crooks use to make their start-up capital?

You can't.
Android (Google) dropped all support for Flash last summer. The reason is the same one Apple gave seven years ago when they released iOS: Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it kills batteries... as well as shortening the battery life in mobile devices.
Android recommends using either "Dolphin" or Puffin" as your browser (BOTH are free in the GooglePlay store). They use "server side rendering" of Flash content to reduce the load on your Android device.

I downloaded Flash Ver 11... (latest).. I see in control panel Flash, But not in programs.

I downloaded Flash from Abobe site Ver 11.... (latest). I see Flash in control pannel (only lets me do security settings). When I go to programs, I only see plug in and Active X. I do not see Flash in programs. I downloaded the installer, and loaded program IE9 keeps asking to download Flash ( I have done this ~ 4 times. After install, screen says I have loaded OK, and see flash movement. What gives? Using WIN VISTA 32 bit. When I go to 'C' 'Program files' I do not see Flash

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program; you will not find it under Program Files.

Secure Download Manager not starting download? (Dreamspark)

Hello,
for the past days I've been trying to download Windows 7 64bit (German) from Dreamspark. The download worked fine until it hit 45% and just stopped. No error messages or similar appeared. ( I've downloaded Windows 8 with no problem a couple of weeks ago,
so the problem is not my firewall / antivirus / settings..; tried different Systems.)
I've deleted the already downloaded files and restarted it, tried to download different files and even asked two friends to try to download something, unsuccessfully.
The problem is obviously on there end, not mine. Any ideas? I've been waiting for support for about 2 days..
Thank you

I have very same problem with Secure Download Manager:
- Download stucks on 0%, there is data transfer but there is no progress
- Download starts, then after while of downloading ( about 30 minutes) it stops (complete lack of any data transfer) and then starts again or not. If it finishes downloading i get CRC error and SDM ask to download file again
- Download starts (or is stuck at 0%) and i get error:
"The download cannot be completed. If a location selection is available for this product, select another location. If no location selection is available, the download may fail to complete because no Internet connection was found, the Internet connection
was lost or a firewall or proxy server exists between the client station and hosting location. Please try again later."
From SecureDownloadManager.log [Download] [Error] OnErrorMessage FileKey 1 http://software.dreamspark.com/dreamspark/POLISH/pl_windows_7_professional_x64_dvd_x15-65829.01.sdc 503
The error repeats when i try again, but if it eventually starts to download i get CRC error at 100% and SDM ask me to download file again.
Notes:
- It happens both with my antivirus and firewall enabled and disabled (Microsoft Firewall is disabled)
- I have Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, 9.0.11
- I have fully enabled javascript and activeX
- My Java and Flash plugins are up to date
- I tried to use diffrent internet, errors happens both at my home and at university campus internet
- I already tried to download sdx file again, delete previously downloaded files and start again, reinstall SDM and reconnect internet, reboot my computer, clear cookies and browser cache.
- Of course my internet connection is fully working, all other programs are downloading and uploading data flawlessly, only SDM that im forced to use is having problems.
Im from Poland and since few days (i wanted to download something again) it completly is not working. Its great to have access to so many programs but its sad i cant download anything because of that Secure Download Manager
I used "contact" form on onthehub site (that i use to order and download SDX files) but no response, today i send mail to
[email protected] and waiting for response. Is there any other mail i can send my problem to? Its getting really annoying i have access to so much programs but cant download any because of this Secure Download Manager :(

If you still get that error then check the Task Manager for hanging Firefox processes.

Downloading Flash gets error

Whenever I download Flash from this site, then try to watch a
movie in WMP, the movie starts to play, but a popup comes up every
few seconds that says "Internet Explorer Cannot Download.
Unspecified Error" until I kill the page. When I uninstall Flash
everything works fine (except things that need Flash, like my
Comcast Homepage!). Can you help? Thanks.

Oh, I forgot to mention that when I run RegCure when Flash is
installed, it disables it, (I'm assuming so that WMP can
work).

I can't download flash on my Mac

I tried to play games on facebook, I received the mesage that I needed flash player, I downloaded flash player, however when I returned to facebook, I received the same message, Download flash player?:?

I logged on to facebook and tried to play Zygna poker, I had a message that I required Adobe flashplayer 10.xx. I downloaded and installed the flash player. reboot and logged back on to facebook. Clicked on the poker icon, I received the same message. "I needed to download Flasher Player to play this game"

If your Flash player works on Adobe's test page --
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
-- then the message may indicate that the script the site uses to set up the Flash player did not run properly.
There are many reasons that scripts might be blocked on a site, including: you having installed the NoScript add-on (in that case, use the NoScript menu to allow the site to run its scripts) or security software set to filter out scripts. Not sure if either of these apply to you.

Why am I having trouble downloading Flash?

I was under the assumpiton that Flash (and FlashPlayer) came as part of the OS 10.9 package.
It isn't there. And when I try to downoad it from Adobe or other sites, the file simply doesn't trasfer over. I'm not talking about the small "Installer". I mean the actual program the Installer plugs in?
What am I doing wrong? Could this be something in my Safari Preferences dealing with Cookies, Plug-ins or Security? I know little about those settings.

There is no fishing. Just download it. If you cannot download the Flash Player installer from Adobe's website, you have something wrong with your system that will affect more than downloading Flash.
I tried to ask for more information on that problem, but you responded with more conflicting info.
I'm guessing that you downloaded the installer dmg, mounted that, then ran Adobe's installer?
Is that correct?
If so, Where do you run into the problem? It will ask you to quit Safari, and if it is running on a background user, you'll need to quit it there, too. Otherwise, the install won't complete.

Hi there,
Could you please tell me if there is a different way to download Flash CS5.5 than using Download Assistant? I have spent days, downloading over and over the demo and always I got Error 101 when I try to extract the installer.
Thanks in advance

Depends on what version of OS X you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
