I know all the wonderful things that Flash can do. But by 1) using an ActiveX control and 2) Using Flash, that causes PSI to be a vector for a vulnerability. Not only that, but since PSI uses Flash, you can't Uninstall or Update Flash while PSI is running. Since I rarely use IE (I'm a Firefox guy), I'd rather not even install the Flash ActiveX in the first place. So maybe you all can come up with another solution. |

I agree. Also, by using flash, it means that the PSI is disfunctional if flash is unresponsive. | ||||||||

F.Y.I. I also wondered about this? http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/249...

Flash is actually not needed to use the PSI. It is only required to show the animation in the overview-tab. Except for that the PSI works perfect without Flash installed. | ||||||||
