Note: on this system (Linux) the file is listed as “flashplugin-nonfree”. Your system/version might have a slightly different one.

Just the incentive and right time for me to do this. I know that Steve Jobs had a real dislike for Flash going way back.

I know enough to be dangerous. . .went to the control panel and there all by itself was the F for flash player. I clicked it on and the permission to allow sites to put information in my computer was checked. Well, I unchecked it and then was warned I may lose valuable info. I don’t remember seeing it before but then I wasn’t looking for it. I am now going to check in the installed programs and see if it is there as well. I don’t even know what I am typing about but thought I would share.

PS I just checked in the programs section and it looks like Adobe Flash Player 22 Active X was installed on my computer on June 16, 2016. I guess I better check my virus protector to see if I have it automatically set for upgrading programs. It is difficult to know what you need and don’t need.

There was a story out that they had fixed Adobe and it was safe. This sounds like an old story to me. Why did he not say what to replace flash with?

"PS I just checked in the programs section and it looks like Adobe Flash Player 22 Active X was installed on my computer on June 16, 2016"I just checked mine, I have these installed:
1. Adobe Air
2. Adobe Flash Playet ActiveX 21
3. Adobe Reader X MUI
Are these bad? What are they for? Should I uninstall them? What happens if I uninstall them?

Looking at the OSX list I did not see Yosemite listed. Stopped at Maverick.
Think I got it turned off.
Listed as Shockwave Flash. Disabled it.
Is that it?

You ‘may lose valuable into’ in regards to any flash settings you have configured or files saved in a cache on the disk, but your system itself is in no danger, have no fear.
