Oldtimer's TFC

Is everyone aware that TFC resets Adobe Flash storage and access settings to defaults? In does this on WIN 7 x64 SP1. In which case Flash can store whatever it wants on your PC, use your web cam, you name it.

It should not do that - all it does is empty the cache

Yeah, I thought it a bit odd. I first noticed it, when I saw Flash Player settings resetting and couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Of course in the interim. I was getting suspicious Alkamai connections up the wazoo that I traced to Flash.

So I ran TFC again and low and behold, Flash settings were reset to defaults again.

I will upload TFC to Virustotal and see what it finds. Norton’s Insight said it was clean on the download.

Looks legit per Virustotal. Might just be a WIN 7 x64 glitch? Who knows but I would check my Flashplayer security settings after running it.

Intriguing - it does not change my settings - win 7 64bit

Just tried it again. WTF didn’t even clean any files this time since I just ran it last night. Same result - it reset the Flashplayer security settings :stuck_out_tongue:

Downloaded .233 ver. of Flash which is the latest ver. I had .228 installed. Ran TFC again. Same result, it reset all the Flash security settings. I give up.

Might be a NAV 2012 glitch - hard to tell. I suspect TFC might be temporarily resetting Flash settings to get at its temp files and NAV blocks it from resetting Flash security settings to the original settings on reboot?
