I find this silly. If you want to improve security crowdsourcing the flaws is a must - that's how open source community does it, and they do it quite well. You really should take a page from them, MS.
[citation][nom]Antilycus[/nom]ADOBE needs to burn FLASH. It has succesfully frozen 4 out of 4 computers with NO FIX ANYWHERE IN SITE. I've tried beta's, new display drivers, new versions, old versions, etc. FLASH is crap. Every single flash ad and flash video flashes both of my screens. and stops playing video. If you close the browser you get an instant lock up(mouse freeze and everything) requiring a hard boot. I've been tyring ot resolve this issue for 5 weeks now. Since 10.0.42 was updated. Too bad going back to the older version didn't resolve the problem either. IF I were MS I wouldnt pay either. but ADOBE needs to because they are on the verge of losing every Flash customer on the planet.[/citation]
For some reason, Flash is sensitive to memory that is overclocked to the limit. At least that was the fix in my case, when nothing video or otherwise helped; I eased off of my memory settings. (Wasn't pleased, but it worked.) Hope this helps.

you are an idiot
losing every flash customer on the planet ?
search google for flash games; there are 100's of sties out there that host flash games
flash isn't going anywhere, moron
Sure they have their own security specialists but if it was not for other researchers leaking vulnerabilities they would not get fixed.
There was 2 very large security holes that other security experts kept telling microsoft that it was being exploited in the wild yet microsoft took 14 years to fix the problem? that is a little too long.
If it was not for other researchers pointing out these flaws windows would be even worse but trying to do it on your own does not work, most of the largest security holes were pointed out by independent security specialists but they were getting this info for free so they think why should they pay for something they were getting for free anyways?.
