I don't give out keys to my premises
IIRC Adode bought Macromedia and thus its Flash "technology" (which like you
I refuse to enable, on anything I control). For about a year now, Adobe also
has quietly distributed acroread "phone home" spyware:
http://lwn.net/Articles/129729/
For that reason, if I must use acroread, I've added this to /etc/hosts:
# Disable Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7 spyware
# See http://lwn.net/Articles/129729/
# After doing a little research, we found that Adobe's Reader was
# connecting to http://www.remoteapproach.com/remoteapproach/logging.asp
# each time we opened the document.
# Adding the following to your /etc/hosts should also help:
127.0.0.1 www.remoteapproach.com
127.0.0.1 remoteapproach.com
It *REALLY* ticks me off to have these thieves pawing over my property.
