Remember, kids: if you're not paranoid to fully block (or uninstall) plugins, at least activate "click2play" in your browser.

Also, for searchability: Adobe Flash Player Plugin (once again proves to be a steaming pile of manure).

click2play or flashblock add-ons help more than just against attacks, also do it to bring resource usage back to sane levels.
One thing about flash I never understood is that update notifications only show up after reboots (at least that's the behaviour that I see) and I don't reboot often ...
