You have your custom virus scanner and your custom firewall active, right? This threat will make all of that mean nothing at all. http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-15.html

Arbitrary code execution on a web page visitor's computer by sending malicious javascript through Adobe Flash.

Guess what problems will arise with local off-line storage in HTML5?

Thus, by default, treat the web and every page on it as a potential threat. It's a dangerous place and people want to wreak havoc.

  • Turn off plug-ins and javascript unless you trust the page and need the functionality.
  • Make it easy on yourself to turn them off and on based on what page or domain you visit: use the Opera browser.
  • The less fortunate that get stuck with Firefox can use the NoScript extension.
  • For those who are forced to use Microsoft's excuse for a web browser... avoid the web altogether.
