How do you disable IE flash plug-in?

Stop using Microsoft's IE browser until bug is fixed, US and UK warn

Haha, just kidding. It's okay in very few limited circumstances. ;)

Despite not “using” ie, it sure seems like actively using it or not, everything seems to pass through it. When I do my morning clean up ie seems to have the most garbage on it.

I’m glad I stopped using it during the last century.

Posted earlier version of same CNet article:

HOWEVER, it bears repeating, so please, carry on!

Who uses that POS browser anyway?

I’ve switched back to NetScrape ....

Tech Ping for a repeat — this is important!

"Stop using Microsoft's IE browser" The article could have stopped there. Here's an oldie but a goodie: How NSA access was built into Windows

Is this something that an antivirus sweep (by Avast, Malwarebytes, etc.) would eventually pick up?

So let me get this straight. The U.S. govt. warns me not to use Internet Explorer but says it’s ok to submit ALL of my personal information using ANY browser to healthcare.gov?

Uh huh.

“FireEye suggests disabling the Adobe Flash plugin because the attacks won’t work without it. FireEye also said running IE in enhanced protection mode, which is only available for IE versions 10 and 11, will protect users from attacks....”

FireEye recommends that if you can't switch browsers, then you disable Internet Explorer's Flash plug-in.

Been disabled on all my machines forever. Don't run IE with Flash enabled. Wait, they just said the same thing.
