While locking folders will prevent changes to Flash code on your Mac, it will NOT necessarily prevent these exploits from working. Locking the folder prevents changes to the STORED file, not to the code loaded into memory when the executable is activated. The exploits use the Flash code as it is held in memory, take advantage of a flaw, and then use that flaw to allow the loading and running of code of their choice.Locked files are an excellent concept - they just aren't enough in this case.

I'm certainly not an IT guy either, but he saidmakes sense to me..
Really? Surely the usual internet hysteria at work. I have disabled not a thing, and all is normal. But of course I only use Mac, so I am better than those who can only get by with p/c.
Same here, all these internet issues are almost a 100% Microsoft/PC user problem. You would think people would get the clue.
You mean Apple isn't a philanthropic not for profit organization ? Damn . Dusty
You didn't pay for that warranty and Apple provides the Genius out of pure philanthropy? Now who needs to get a clue?

Dang Harv , I thought YOU were a non profit Yeah , Dave Barry wrote about how superior Macs were to any other computer , but all they are is a toy to me , so it doesn't matter . Dusty
Harv , even us old socialist hippies gotta eat Plus , gas ain't gettin any cheaper Dusty
Bingo Bill! Perhaps one does pay a $100-$200 premium for a Mac, but over the course of a few years it pays for itself in spades.
Bingo Bill! Perhaps one does pay double for a Mac, but over the course of a few years it pays for itself in spades.
Let's see . . . So far this year you've blamed Microsoft for the quality of Chinese manufacturing, made them responsible for urban planning, and made Bill Gates personally responsible for not building you a freeway bridge. Now you're saying MS is responsible for an Adobe Flash hack. This is beyond irrational.Microsoft is not Adobe. Flash is not a Microsoft product. Flash works across all platforms, not just Microsoft. The vulnerability is an attack on the internet, not Microsoft. It is equal opportunity. Those are the facts. It's time to pull your head out of your ass.
Regarding the merits of platforms and their relative potential to be attacked...
