just wanted to let you know that it wasn't you that hit block.

it was the new windows update, that blocked it for you.

a while ago it was discovered that leaving adobe flash player unblocked leaves a persons computer at risk for hacking and other undesirable behaviors.

So Microsoft windows added a patch or command to their updates to automatically block adobe flash player, making it so that now people who have the adobe flash player has to make their own choice of whether they want to leave their computers unprotected by unblocking the flash player.

there are two options now. -

those that don't want to leave their computers unprotected can do a temporary unblock each use by clicking "unblock only once" which will automatically reblock adobe flash player after that one time use and a person has to click the unblock only once pop up for another use of it.

or a person can go into their computers settings and their browsers settings and unblock which can leave the computer open to hackers and other undesirables.

think of it like leaving an actual window in your home open. if you open it part way and not leave it open all the time you have less chance of the wrong people entering your home, but if you leave the window open 24/7 the odds of someone burgularizing and harming those in the house is higher.

Microsoft is aware that undesirables are using adobe flash products for their hacking and such, so they made it so that each person with a computer has to now make their own choice whether to leave their computers unprotected and for how long.

I left my adobe flash player blocked and prefer to do the required click for each use rather than leaving my computer open to hackers and such full time.
