[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1634413, member: 307555"] Both Java (& Javascript) and Flash have been favored by malware creators as a way to infect your computer. One nice perk to having an Apple is that the vast majority - like 99.9% - is written for the Windows platform. Most issues arise from out of date versions of the above programs. Keeping them up to date helps a lot. I also make Flash ask permission to run which can be set in the browser plus I have very strict settings in my System Preferences -> Flash Player (& Java). One big perk to setting your browser to have flash ask to run is no more annoying adds running with sound that you don't want to see or hear. Lisa [/QUOTE]
