    Adobe's Flash and Acrobat have 'critical' vulnerability, may allow remote hijacking
    By Vladislav Savov, Jun 5th 2010 5:45PM via CNET

    " When Adobe said Flash gives you the full web experience, it meant it. Part and parcel of the web, as we all know, is the good old hacking community, which has been "actively exploiting" a vulnerability in Flash Player 10.0.45.2 (and earlier versions) and Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9.x to overtake people's machines and do hacky stuff with them. This so-called flaw also causes crashes, but that's probably not what's worrying you right now. Adobe says the 10.1 Release Candidate for Flash Player looks to be unaffected, while versions 8.x of Acrobat and Reader are confirmed safe. To remedy the trouble, the company advises moving to the RC for Flash, and deleting authplay.dll to keep your Acrobat from performing undesirable gymnastics. Oh boy, Steve's gonna have a field day with this one. "

    Then it all makes sense to me now, why when i use flash my mouse starts moving around the screen by itself then opens up my bank details.
    Better stop using it then.
    PAIN is just WEAKNESS leaving the body

    Steve Jobs: I told you so
    "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music"
