Firefox 3 is AMAZING!

“firefox 3 won't support AVG. Anyone got free virus program that will work?”

Hadn't heard that. Anyway, Avast is probably what you are after. I migrated a machine from AVG to Avast a couple of years ago and was glad for it. This year I had to revert a machine to AVG from Avast for three days while the Avast team worked on a very specific problem. That was a pain, and again reiterated the superiority of Avast. I was very glad to get that resolved. In terms of detection they both score round about the same under testing, but Avast will do stuff AVG won't. It'll run for about three weeks without needing a licence. If you decide you want to keep it and bag the licence it'll be good for a year, then you ask for a new licence. Sounds a hassle to do that every year but it isn't and you'll get a superior product. Your current problem is a blessing in disguise.

I cant not play u tube clips with fire fox. I get this message :

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

Until someone who knows more than me chimes in that I'm wrong, that's the message you get when you have the NoScript extension working, and have not enabled the particular script or flash content. NoScript is actually doing its job and is telling you as much.

All you have to do is go to the NoScript icon and allow youtube.com or whichever particular website you're visiting, if you trust it. Alternately, often a placeholder box shows up with a NoScript logo, and you can left click on the box to temporarily allow that object, often a video or flash animation.

NoScript has a slight learning curve, but it's worth it in spades. If I remember right, the NoScript website has a couple tutorials to show you how to do things properly, it's worth the 15 minutes or so to go and figure it out, it'll take a lot of the mystery out of that particular, awesome extension.

Nope, script is allowed for u tube, still videos wont play.
 
Ok, you were right, The script was partially allowed, you need to fully allow script to see u tube clips.

thanks much :)

I'm not going to worry about it. They find and patch these things in every browser and OS all the time. They almost never seem to amount to anything.

There doesn't seem to be any evidence that this hole is being exploited. It doesn't seem like any big deal to me.

Compared to the security holes Microsoft keeps leaving in their products, including their OSes, it really doesn't seem like a huge deal!
