How concerned should I be when the latest update for Adobe Flash Player includes the following paragraph?
"7. Connectivity and Privacy. You acknowledge and agree to the following:
7.1 Use of PDF Files. When you Use the Software to open a PDF file that has been enabled to display
ads, your Computer may connect to a website operated by Adobe, an advertiser, or other third party.
Your Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”) is sent when this happens. The party hosting the site may
use technology to send (or “serve”) advertising or other electronic content that appears in or near the
opened PDF file. The website operator may also ... personalize advertising content. ... Adobe may not have access to or control over features that a third party may use, and the
information practices of third party websites are not covered by the Adobe Online Privacy Policy."
Not to mention that 7.2 makes you accept automatic updates.
For the moment, until someone on this forum can give me a good idea as to how much more spam this will bring me, I will not update. Any help would be appreciated.
