The issue of insanely poor security in the Flash Player is a subject matter all on its own.The issue of insanely poor security in the Flash Player is a subject matter all on its own.  Many security issues could be addressed if Adobe would allow the various features of Flash to be selectable, on and off, by users much the same as MSIE Internet zone security allows.  Flash has no mentionable configuration option for users.  It is pretty much all or nothing. Flash has become the instrumental of an ever increasingly crafty way of bombarding the browsing experience with commercial advertisements and popups.  Most popup blockers are useless against popups opened by Flash.  Flash can open popups, redirect your browser, and force execution of adware without user permission.
