The Downside (and fixes) to Flash Player

While it has a great many uses, Adobe’s flash player software has been known to be an easy target for computer viruses and harmful malware. Their history as an ‘easy-target’ when it comes to security has not gone unnoticed by the developers and in more recent versions of the software, they have addressed these security issues to provide a more robust computer program that doesn’t compromise on protection.
