iMac says its "Blocked Plug in"......I have updated my flash player and it still won't show video...

e-mailed our local Mac guys, and they wrote back that she had been having that trouble too, but that further down the page the video WOULD play. She suggested I bring my computer in so they could check it for malware and do a quick check. D*mn. It's so annoying. And it's always their fix, bring it in. Ugh........ Has anyone else had this problem with adobe flash?

I use Safari with no Flash installed, because Flash is the number one delivery avenue for spyware, and it slows your browser considerably. Animated Flash ads are your enemy.

I keep Chrome installed for when I really need to see a flash video or other content. Flash comes built in. Maybe open it once or twice a month.

and hardly ever use Safari.
I do have excellent protection on my network, as well as on the local computer.
It is my living after all.
I believe that the best browser today is Firefox, but your mileage may vary.
