[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1634452, member: 307555"] I have read a lot of articles that claim javascript can harbor malware but maybe I am interpreting it wrong. [url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/2608850/malware/malware-hides-behind-javascript--pngs-to-bypass-browser-security.html]Malware hides behind JavaScript, PNGs to bypass browser security | InfoWorld[/url] [url=http://infosecstuff.com/how-hackers-use-javascript-to-distribute-malware/]How Hackers Use Javascript to Distribute Malware | InfosecStuff[/url] We could debate that but I basically agree. So the original question of how safe are they - depends. And my suggestions were to keep them up to date and set your security settings on them high and make Flash ask to run. Things are always changing with how secure they are, how they are exploited and what happens when they are. There are no guarantees. Lisa [/QUOTE]
