dont use it until the problem is solved. even removing/deinstalling is advised in this german article.
i have found out that we can install adobes flashplayer even in restricted mode.

Michael,
Which version of flash are we talking about? I do not read or speak German.

Has anyone seen an English version of this news?

Thanks in advance...

It is solved in the latest version which has been out for at least a month.

Just remember that you are not in danger unless you visit certain suspect websites.
