I ignore adobe flash updates, on orders from my son. He said they cause a lot of trouble, (java script). I’ve got a problem from last week with IE due to a Windows update.

I heard that there are some that are not from adobe, but have been made to look like they are so that people will click on them and get a virus. I hope my husband can figure out why the adobe flash I’ve downloaded isn’t working. I went to their site directly. I’m wondering if the two things are connected: not having adobe flash and the black boxes. It seems like a bit of a coincidence to me that they both are a problem at the same time.
