Flush Flash - for Win/OS X
by Bobbi Flekman - well-known Malware Fighter

"After everyone started using cookie killers in their webbrowsers, the advertisers and everyone else who wanted to check up on you started using a new method of tracking. By leaving cookies in Flash. You can handle the cookies by going to Adobe's Settings Manager and work the various tabs it presents you. Otherwise you have to use cleaning programs of which most don't clean these cookies, so here is a simple way of eradicating all of them."


The program has three modes of operation:
  • Everything: this simply gets rid of everything there is
  • Everything but Site settings: With the Adobe manager you can set pereferences for each site you visit. You can tell Flash how much space is alloted, what privacy conditions are valid, etc. This choice only deletes the cookies, not the Site settings.
  • Everything but Adobe settings: Most people will not have configured the settings per site, but you may have changed the settings for Flash itself. So this choice, which is selected on startup, will get rid of all cookies and website settings but leave the settings for Adobe Flash itself.
After you made the choice, simply click on the button and the command will be executed.
Done, and the system is Flash cookie free.

Flash Flush! does not play nicely with Quicken 2009. After using Flash Flush!, Quicken would not launch, instead it gave me a window asking me which file I wanted to open. Upon selecting the file, Quicken launched, but its operation was sluggish. Using the Quicken disk, to do a repair install of Quicken, restored much of its functionality, but it is still a little sluggish. I need to uninstall, delete the file folder, clean the registry and then reinstall the program and import the data from the external backup. Quicken relies on flash for some of its functions and they seem to be corrupted.

Chachazz told me to attach "c:\Documents And Settings\\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player" , but I can't get a WinRar file past your servers security, even with a password.

If you want you can delete the files in the subdirectories. I need to know the precise folder structure as sites keep their settings and cookies per directory.
