For those who are photosensitive

[epileric]

I hope I don't sound like an advertisement but I use this program called SpywareBlaster. It's great for spyware but they just updated the program & I just found that it now has a flash killer that disables flash programs & downloads.

I"m not photosensitive but thought it might be of use to some of you out there. Oh yes.... it's also free.

You can also disable flash and file downloads by adjusting your internet settings.

With Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options, select the Security tab and click the Custom Level button. Then make sure the following items are set/unset:

• ActiveX controls and plug-ins (disable all options under this section, but specifically the Run ActuveX controls and plug-ins)
• Downloads (disable all options under this section)

There are other settings you can use to really tighten up the security, but adjusting those settings should disable Flash and downloads.
