Default Virus on page?

Suit yourself. I've never needed Flash. I doubt youtube
requires Flash. It's being phased out. Even Adobe, who
make it, are phasing it out -- at the end of next year.

2016. 6 for Flash. 2 for IE. 1 Silverlight. 1 Windows:

Flash probably isn't exploited as much now, only because
less people have it. Other big exploits are Wordpress hacks,
