Adobe Flash Player Vulnerabilities

Here's some important computer security tip I found in this week's SANS NewsBites (Vol. 11 Num. 97):

"Adobe applications like Flash are feature rich, but they are putting so much complexity into their applications they probably have a lot of vulnerabilities that yet to be found. In the mean time, for your home Windows systems, install Secunia PSI and keep your Adobe products up to date and never do online banking or stock trading with multiple windows open. I realize these are just stopgap measures. They don't solve the root cause problem, but Band-Aids have a purpose."
