This is a good thing.
Flash is a security problem and will always be so.

Flash is a security problem and will always be so.

That's not quite true; they certainly could make a Flash Player that was secure — the problem is mostly cultural: many of the big companies don't see the security and maintenance problems as impacted by their design-practices and language-choice. This is one reason why you will continue to see companies using bug-ridden DNS servers, even though there's an implementation proven not to contain remote-code execution exploits, single-packed DoS, or unexpected termination.

OK ... all I know is Adobe since 1998 and I've HEARD the comments about being fat and heavy, but I don't know what it means to ME, who uses youtube frequently and other apps a website might direct me to

WHAT does a guy like me DO ?

Do I go inside and uninstall flash and install another ?

Get rid of adobe altogether .. the reader and a couple of etcetera's ??

What do I do ?
