Flash 9 Update - nice job Adobe

The IE Blog has been congratulating the Adobe Flash team for shipping a model implementation of an IE Plugin that works with IE Protected mode.  Nice to see early adoption to help keep users safe whilst they are online.

"As most of you already know, on Windows Vista, IE7 includes a special feature called Protected Mode where the IE process runs with low privileges. This helps IE significantly reduce the ability of an attack to write, alter or destroy data on the user's machine or to install malicious code. These defenses also limit legitimate actions like saving browser settings, which is why Protected Mode includes broker processes to handle IE’s elevated actions. Similarly, yesterday’s Flash update includes a broker process to handle Flash’s specific elevated actions."
