    Adobe can not get Flash Player to properly protect against attacks, as the code base is very old and poorly designed and introduced by. would write the new flash player with no one, not even Adobe. There are, however, with Gnash least one project that has made this attempt. Difficulties in preparing a rewriting inter alias, that the traditional Flash player error a programmer often tolerated. to emulate something as seemingly is no easy task.

    Only the Adobe Flash versions 10.1, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat 8.x are not currently affected by the hacking attacks. Every user should for their own safety should best respond to these versions or change at the same place on an alternative. As an alternative to Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat PDF Creator are the programs Sumatra, Foxit PDF reader and the Xpert-recommended.

    The security experts also recommend Adobe authplay.dll delete the file to which the problem is mitigated. File deletion can indeed cause a crash but a takeover by hackers is prevented. At mid-year 2009 was a zero-day exploit in circulation network in which the file was affected authplay.dll.

    The lightning rod that program will be the solution and allow safe surfing despite installed Flash Player. To make browsing safer, the parser of the lightning rod by the Flash code, check it and it is further modified only to the Flash player. Thus the lightning rod is more effective than virus that fail in many cases of attacks on Flash. Also eliminates the parser including design flaws that make the Flash Player potentially open to attack. A few disadvantages of this approach however. The Flash code is larger and the processing of the code takes about a second.
