I know enough to be dangerous. . .went to the control panel and there all by itself was the F for flash player. I clicked it on and the permission to allow sites to put information in my computer was checked. Well, I unchecked it and then was warned I may lose valuable info. I don’t remember seeing it before but then I wasn’t looking for it. I am now going to check in the installed programs and see if it is there as well. I don’t even know what I am typing about but thought I would share.
You ‘may lose valuable into’ in regards to any flash settings you have configured or files saved in a cache on the disk, but your system itself is in no danger, have no fear.
