Using Firefox allows the use of No-Script which prevents the nonsense from starting. It does take getting used too, but it’s worth it.
I use Firefox with Eset security. It works excellent until I get a link with a video that introduces adobe and one of it’s associated disasters.
Thanks to both of you for your help. I’ve pretty much learned what websites to not bother with. When they offer videos of things that interest me, I do a YouTube search and if it’s there, I’ll open it. But, Adobe Flash and I have parted ways forever. (I never liked their Acrobat garbage either.)
