What has happened to Adobe Flash? Lately, when you scroll past where the window for Adobe is it will jump down and
lock itself to the right side of where you are viewing. Until recently clicking on the "X" in the upper right hand
corner of the window put Adobe back to where it originated, never to intrude again. At least on that page.

Recently Adobe has become more annoying and refuses to leave you alone. Clicking on the "X" in the upper right hand
corner of the window still puts Adobe back to where it originated, but it drags you back with it. Now it appears that
the Adobe window won't let you out of its' sight.

Is there a way to stop this take over of Adobe?

Don't know. Remove it an install again?

Are you talking about that window that pops up with the hot babe that only live 2.3 miles away and wants to "meat" you?

Seriously though, if using FireFox, install the NoScript add-on.

I do use Firefox, but, only as a test, I opened IE and Adobe Flash exhibited the same behavior. I'll give NoScript a
try. Thanks.

You might want to consider uninstalling Adobe. Unless you have a real
need for it. IE: some site out there that hasn't adopted HTML5; which
no longer needs Adobe flash.

Is there a replacement you would recommend?

Flash is on everyone's ****list so I doubt you'll find a replacement.

Hi Gordon,

Not an answer to your question, but Flash is being phased out
in favor of HTML5. (I do not have Flash on my system.)
And Firefox will no longer accept Java's plugin. It won't
be very long before Firefox also rejects Flash's plugin
as well. This is all for security purposes.
