Wander if I should post this here , says theres a vulnerability in adobe flash and that we should turn it off.
Overview of a similar case earlier.
Integer overflow in Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and earlier, and 8.0.39.0 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SWF file with a negative Scene Count value, which passes a signed comparison, is used as an offset of a NULL pointer, and triggers a buffer overflow.

The Way Out
Depending on what sites you are hitting. Many people begin to surf sites that sell gold, items, or bots. Because flash is active upon hitting a site, it has always been easy to inject code through the flash plugins on your browser.

Here is an article where someone gets money for it. Sounds like a good gig to me. *wink wink*

option, option... and then check the box that say forbids adobe(R) flash, hope that works.
Its better then using IE, IE gave me so many virus problems I can't even begin to describe the frustration... lol, so I refuse to be frustrated, hence I am using firefox now.

Yeah, NoScript does block flash, if you allow it to.
But anyway, I came on here after starting WoW to see if it was just WoW it was affecting, or if this might be one of the ways people are getting targeted on GW too.
Either way, update it.

My guess at the hilarity is that since the word "Script" is in the name of NoScript that it only blocks Javascript when in fact it blocks everything from Javascript to Silverlight to Flash to XSS to IFRAME to....
Of course, this tool only works if it's active.
