Another Flash Shock(wave)

Adobe announced yesterday that there is a security patch for Shockwave Player which users should install. However, it would be worth first checking that you have the product in the first place and, if not, then you probably don’t need it at all. Very little content on the web uses it.

Just to confuse matters, the Firefox plugin that Adobe installs for their Flash product is called “Shockwave Flash.” This is one you probably do want as it makes surfing the web a bit easier.

Yes, great advice. Adobe makes some really good products, but not everyone wants or uses them. I’ve used the Firefox plugin and it works really well. If you use FF you’ll definitely want the plugin.
