Many others claim Flash is indeed dangerous in that it allows malware access to your computer. Since security vulnerabilities in Flash are not found as frequently as such vulnerabilities in various versions of Windows, I do not worry about that. However, I often find Flash to be annoying. While I have Flash installed, I also have the Flashblock extension installed and enabled. For SeaMonkey, get Flashblock 1.3.20 (NOT 1.5.17) from <http://flashblock.mozdev.org/>. -- David E.
