- Adobe Shockwave haunted by critical security holes
-
Should Adobe rename parts of their software suite (not only this one) as Shockware?
The simple justification is that it was shocking to the vendor.
On one of my machines (with all security software up to date and running in the background), visiting msnbc.com causes IE8 to crash on Windows Server 2008 64-bit. Other sites work fine. The stack trace points to Shockwave.
Adobe Shockwave, Flash and Reader are 32-bit only bloatware, full of holes, slow like Windows Vista on a Pentium 100MHz with 4MB of RAM. Searching for a text phrase in Reader is probably code implemented 10 years ago and untouched since then. "Find" taking 30 seconds to go through 600-page ebook? Is the Adobe Reader team stuck with IBM PC Jr machines to do their work or what? - Posted by: the_fiddler_on_the_roof Posted on: 11/03/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
