I didn't know anyone still used Silverlight since it has been
depreciated by Microsoft since 2011.
Microsoft is still supporting it -- I know that in Windows 7
installations, I keep having to hide offered updates each time Microsoft
comes out with a new version.
Over the last several years, Netflix has been the most prominent site
using Silverlight. I haven't followed closely, but I'm guessing that
they have moved to another distribution tool.
At this time, the best thing to do is to uninstall *all* external video
players (Flash, Shockwave, Quicktime, etc.) unless you know that you
need them. Chances are pretty good that you don't, and if you do
encounter something that requires a player you don't have, you'll get a
complaint that it's not there. It should be easy enough to reinstall, if
you really want the content. For me, I removed Flash about 3 years ago,
and while I still occasionally bump into something that requires Flash,
I generally conclude that whatever the content is, it's not urgent
enough to bother with reinstalling Flash.
For me, I just disable them in my SM. For Flash, I tell it to prompt me
to run or not. I rarely see Flash though.
