There's an extension called flashblock for mozilla browsers - I have
my wife's computer set up with it; works well - blocks by default and
you have to enable the flash to play.
For my own computer - I don't trust macromedia one iota. The idea
that some smarmy marketeer can set hidden flash cookies or a piece of
software that enables (by default) sites to access the camera or
microphone - tells me they aren't interested in my privacy.
The other option is to uninstall flash - and that requires another
executable from macromedia - although you can probably just rip out
the dll files and suffer a crash from time to time.
