How often have you activated it recently?

If it's been awhile, you might want to delete it. However, it doesn't
seem to be doing any harm, as long as you have "ask to activate".


BTW, I am typing this on a "Flashless" PC. At one time, Flash was a part
of my normal PC setup. I had to redo my system about a month ago (old
laptop was becoming unreliable), and never installed Flash. No site I
used needed it.



The computer has been up 13 hours and i just checked Task Manager and FLASH is not running. The one
game i play is a scrabble-type game named Lexulous and i thought it required it to draw the board and i
had marked it "always activate for this site", but they apparently changed that and it has not been
called from there since i have played a few moves there in the last 13 hours.....


So you don't need Flash. I left something out of my previous post, about
"Never Activate" being preferable to "Ask To Activate" since it hides
Flash from the page, and that makes some sites use HTML.



Thanks for that distinction. It helps.
