Yes, the title explained my problem well in my opinion.
I read articles today about Adobe Flash Player. Articles maybe old but I was ditched from Flash Player.
Articles are from ESET..
Part1 : http://www.welivesecurity.com/2010/10/06/adobe-flash-the-spy-in-your-computer-part-1/
Part2 : http://www.welivesecurity.com/2010/10/06/adobe-flash-the-spy-in-your-computer-part-2/

I also get this alert on every page on MT.. but pages load perfectly!

I do not want this too. How can I disable this? or Are there any alternative for Flash player that will prevent this popup?
I knew about HTML5 on Youtube. I already enabled it by default. I can watch Youtube videos but other video sites and embedded videos.
I hope I could explain my problem. Thanks for your comments from now.

Chrome and IE on Windows 8 (or later) have Flash Player integrated. Flash Player is much required.

You will need to dismiss these messages manually.

There is a way to solve the issue, it just will take some time...

I stopped using Dragon because of issues with Flash. Dragon did not have Pepper Flash at that time, so Flash did not work correctly. Not sure if Google allows Comodo to use Pepper Flash now or not...

In any case, did you try the ScriptSafe plug-in for Chrome - and blacklist only the "Adobe Flash is Required" script ?

A simple extension that brings some of NoScript's functionality to Chrome while emphasizing simplicity and intuitiveness (no affiliation to NoScript):
  • whitelisting/blacklisting functionality and granular control
  • actually speeds up browsing because it removes a lot of unwanted content
  • ability to remove <SCRIPT>, <OBJECT>, <EMBED>, <IFRAME>, <FRAME>, <APPLET>, <AUDIO>, <VIDEO>, <NOSCRIPT>, and <IMG> elements, as well as webbugs
  • ability to block unwanted content (MVPS HOSTS, hpHOSTS (ad / tracking servers only), Peter Lowe's HOSTS Project, MalwareDomainList.com, and DNS-BH – Malware Domain Blocklist are integrated!)
  • ability to block click-through referrer data
  • "intuitive" icon that changes based on whether or not a page is whitelisted/blacklisted/bypassed
  • shows number of blocked/removed items in toolbar
  • shows blocked/allowed items in tab details popup (along with item type)
  • bulk import domains into whitelist and blacklist
  • option to temporarily allow a page/temporarily allow all blocked items
  • choose the default mode (Block All or Allow All)
  • option to preserve same-domain elements
  • option to disable automatic refresh of pages after whitelisting/blacklisting/temp. bypassing a page

Unfortunately the alternatives are totally lack as follows and its effectiveness vary:

1) HTML5 is pretty considered until now as experimental feature and only available in Youtube, since majority of websites uses Flash Player as long you have decent hardware acceleration then you can play videos or browse without problems. *

*Except don't too much at high resolution like 8k to 10k that makes your computer suffer in resources

2) When using PC, you need view via mobile which you can watch without any problems or browsing.

VLC Player plug-in has been attacked and compromised in the past due to its wide-use and popularity... but it is probably targeted by malware writers less than Adobe Flash.

You are right. I "Deny" MT and then popup gone. But I cannot like or reply while denying MT.
How can I solve this? By the way I like the extension.

I have not used SafeScript in a long time. There is a way to block only the Adobe Script - but allow everything else - if I recall correctly.

If you "Deny" MT then it will disable all in-browser scripts = disables Like and Reply.

Sorry... which plug-in are you using: SafeScript or FlashControl ???

I have noscript on my Palemoon and I can did this on it. ScriptSafe needs much works but easy to use.

PPAPI Flash... there's part of the problem - it is still not released by Google to Comodo - is it?

I used NPAPI and Comodo Dragon always warns me that "you cannot use it in the future, use PPAPI" and Comodo Flash Download Helper appears while I downloading the flash. It directs me to PPAPI. It is a very good move from Comodo.

Done.
Can we use this feature against Cryptolocker & Exploits?

Yes, I think this is the case. If you add file, like text file, then try to open and edit it, then you will get "You do not have permission (Access Denied)" alert. Can't copy it, can't modify it in any way... at least that is what I have seen on my system.

Comodo is much more powerful than just merely a sandbox ! Afterall, it is essentially CEM without any of the Admin consoles...

Can you clarify, in your own words, why you don't want to install or use Adobe Flash Player?
