On many sites it is now required to view the clips useing the new ADOBE Flash Player [11]. Interesting thing about this version it creates a New Adminsitrator to your system. This new admin keeps track of every web site you visit, any music you listen to, movies you watch, downloads you do, and most disturbingly your account names with passwords.This information is shared with every corporation that pays ADOBE thier data fee.[That is why the flash player is free. the corporations pay].

The standard meathods of removeing this new ADMIN from your system will not function even if you are The system Administrator Adobe takes priority over your ability to remove them. I found the classic track down the files,folders, and directories then deleteing them from the inside out is the only way to remove this unwanted Spy Admin. Once these folders and directory are deleted then you can use the Program Controll in the Controll Pannel to finish removeing the flash player. The down side you can't watch many clips for games and online sites like CRAKLE & Net Flicks. But then you know if that corporation is paying Adobe the fee for your data.

Some sites I have encountered that require ADOBE Flash Player 11:

STEAM
CRAKLE
Net Flicks
and some in
You Tube

It is Illegal for individuals to do this you your systems . Why is it leagal for corporations to do it to you?

I don't think this belongs here...

I think you installed the wrong Flash Player

lollollollollollollollol

Not sure if trolling.

and where did you get this information from?

Sounds like you might have fallen for some social engineering with your version...

Besides, there are https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/03/graduated-response-deal-steamrollers-towards-july-1-launch to your 'privacy' out there...

Not sure if serious...

Or, rather, not sure if should be taken serious...

Nice try, but this is all lies.

Ran "net users" on 5 different computers with latest version of Adobe flash, no new users listed. Adobe's latest version, 11.2 does include a Windows service for automatic updates to adobe flash without UAC warnings (Firefox is going to do the same in version 12 or 13 IIRC), which runs as SYSTEM and doesn't do anything hairy. It can also be easily disabled and Adobe even prompts you for what you want to do when you upgrade to 11.2.

One user cannot spy on another user in Windows (without running a process, which would be easy enough to spot) and there is no uniform password management system in Windows (some programs have their own password managers, some store things in the registry, and then there are third-party password managers like KeePass) so it's quite impossible to steal all passwords without a keylogger, which would be well-reported by now, but no such information exists.

It is true that it's possible to craft a "flash cookie" using flash local storage that can track a lot of web information, but this is nothing new and isn't done by Adobe, but third-parties.


Finally, never heard of Net Flicks, sounds like some knockoff website of Netflix (which, by the way, uses Silverlight, not Flash).


So, OP, you are either incredibly mistaken or you are a master hacker who has been tinkering with the latest adobe flash update and decided to post your findings on a random gaming forums first instead of somewhere where it would actually be read by people.

Adobe gets it's Flash-money by licensing things server-side. For example, anyone who wants to develop Flash-based games has to cough up money for the privilege of utilising their outdated, buggy, generally cruddy piece of software (I don't like Flash, can you tell? ).

On a side note, apparently they've recentlyish come up with some new features that could actually bring Flash more or less into the present (at least for game devs), but they've decided to charge 9% royalties on any profits above $50k when said features are used. Although plenty of indie devs don't make that much from any one game, it is enough to turn a lot of them off it and encourage them to use alternative such a Unity or HTML5.
