HELP! Macromedia Intrusion FIRE! What to do?

Post Reply New Topic

Macromedia somehow is getting into my network
and I am sick of it! Please tell me once and for all
how to keep them out!

They keep installing and slowing down computers
and one was controlling the frequency of a power
transformer when it slowed down, and then froze,
which was audible as a loud buzzer sound and a
bang and a transformer burning orange and smelling
like burning plastic.

I have been working with computers for 30 years
and nobody who hasn't had one for more than 15
can understand how serious an intrusion can be.
Anyone who thinks WINDOWS viruses are all fine
and dandy can enjoy the imminent BSoD, but I
am on Linux now, and my computers date back
to 1980, and some of them do not even at the
low level know the difference between memory
and hardware, everything is binary. Does anyone
remember how you made sound on an APPLE II
be READING "MEMORY BYTE -16336???"

The internet is obviously not even safe for LINUX
anymore, now that MACROMEDIA VIRUS can
break and enter at will and even start a fire!
How much longer can the internet be usable?

I URGENTLY NEED TO PREVENT ALL ATTEMPTS
TO UPDATE MY SOFTWARE SINCE IT IS SERIOUSLY
DANGEROUS TO DO SO.

SINCE MACROMEDIA IS COMING IN VIA WP, PLEASE
TELL ME HOW TO STOP IT, OR TELL THEM THAT
THEY ARE DANGEROUS. AND IF THEY WILL NOT LISTEN,
MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD BLITZ THEIR VIRUS-UPDATING NETWORK.
(Didn't a network glitch cause the 2003 blackout?
Didn't someone push the wrong button in CHERNOBYL?
MACROMEDIA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY STOP SCREWING AROUND!
ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL ME? THEY ALMOST DID!
THEY KNOW THEY DON'T BELONG ON MY SYSTEM!)

Macromedia just installed itself again, and I just deleted it again.

Please explain in NECESSARY DETAIL why WP is connected to MACROMEDIA.
Please tell me how to prevent them from attempting to install.
Please tell me what I should do to prevent all DANGEROUS VIRUS UPDATES.
Please tell me what I should do about (and to prevent more) SERIOUS DAMAGE?

get Lynx or any text browser, telnet maybe.

Bump, because this is very serious. I need to disable adobe,macromedia,flashplayer
from frequent attempts to illegally install on linux and causing damage,
even ignoring all of the instructions to block it.
I don't think I will be able to stay online much longer and I think
the whole internet is going to crash soon. Its truly a miracle
that anything still works the way it does now.

Install a web filter and block their site.

I have to say though, what kind of computers have you got that Macromedia Flash is enough to slow them down? Are you sure that's the culprit?

Also, just an FYI, I write diagnostics for some of the most cutting edge GPUs that are coming out, and programming them generally consists of writing 32-bit values to certain memory locations. Not much different from making a sound on an Apple II, just more possibilities.

Vals, honestly,
stop smoking the carpet!

Yeah that too.

OK, I'm ripping out useless code and blocking everything, and everything is lieing,
so it looks like I will have to rewrite everything between every terminal and the
internet. GOOGLE and ADOBE and MACROMEDIA are blocked everywhere.

I have Embedded Control System Computers and all of the above should not be
in them nor even be able to be. The plug is pulled. There is only enough RAM in
this VM called "ADOBE FLASH FIRE" on the net for the kernel and the browser,
but sure enough I have two hidden folders stuffing the space and trying to get
into the RS-232s and RS-485s again. I've got pictures ... but what does the
picture icon here do if everyone uploads to flickr or something. Everything is
blocked except WP now, and GOOGLE and ADOBE and MACROMEDIA installed
and nothing has been slow around here since Windows was used, so now there
are these nasty intruders causing so much trouble that unless they get the
message, they are going to get blitzed back! If they lob grenades I might as
well grab a bat and hit some home runs.

Sites blocked. Getting in sneaky somehow. Caught red handed.
Preparing to Upload evidence.

Well, I'm going to delegate the hackbacking to everyone else that's getting
slowed down until the internet halts. If I just leave the internet unplugged then
they can spam it up and slow it down as much as they want and my machines
will never be slow again. But I am certainly going to puncture the Adobe
revenue stream like I did with SONY and their rootkit. Apparently the economy
sux because its a monkey poop fight in a room full of fans. Apparently sabotage
is business as usual. Pictures may appear in my next post. If not, I'm signing off
and watching the monkey poop storm.

PICTURES PENDING:

Art by myself:
...Would you like to play a game?
...How about ADOBE FLASH FIRE?
...HACKBACK!

Buffer folder stuffed with ADOBE and MACROMEDIA demons.

Error message: Cannot connect to Clients4.google.com because
SSL protocol is disabled.

^RIGHT! IT IS FILTERED, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE I REMOVED
WHAT IT IS USING TO SNEAK AROUND THE FILTER WITH!

I have better things to do than play I.T. like a Windows slave.

The question remains because I'm not a fool, should I sue or bill them
for damage and time, or hack them back? I can see all my bytes with
my tools because I'm running tight code on AA battery power (if the
Chinese electrical smart-grid virus comes, or is this it?). Fast tight code
that can run for years on AA batteries. NO HARD DRIVES because in
logarithmic time they are no more reliable than Dynamic Ram and
even my 1980 floppies and tapes do still work. If you want to SAVE
something, how about punched cards, punched tape, or vinyl? haha, true!
Now even the games come infected with viruses. I laugh at such idiocy
because I know what happened with the internet: They've always been
knocking me off of it, but now they are additionally trying to access
everything on this side of the gateway. I think I said recently that "the
front door was open but they had to sneak around back and fall down
the stairs into the cellar." (They crashed the STMP servers and then
emailed about free information that they had crashed the old web servers
trying to get.) Obviously if all my software is less than 64K per application,
there must be megabytes hidden SOMEWHERE, right? I'd just shake my
head and toss them a floppy with 10 apps on it! Ok, Adobe and Macromedia
are stuffing themselves on here AGAIN so obviously more hacking is
imperative. Any help would be appreciated. I recommend getting solar panels, a
generator, and a CB. After they make all screens turn blue, they will turn black.

-tempnet ADOBE FLASH FIRE, signing off... no, still testing.
Pictures queued and pending.

Let the right thing be done to stop these illegal and dangerous intrusions.

WHY WOULD FLASHPLAYER BE TRYING TO INSTALL
EVER MORE SO FREQUENTLY ON WP NOW
IF I AM BLOCKING ADS AND I SEE NO VIDEOS?
Why do they come in as hidden files?

And what is clients4.google.com, which comes up on every page when it's blocked?

¿are you using adblock plus?

clients4.google.com
ssl error

there you go, enjoy yourself ;)


btw, macromedia doesn't exist anymore, it was bought by adobe a couple of years ago (you know, economies of scale, get richer, lay off people, etc).

WTF.

Did you actually write all of this yourself? If so you need to start a column in a computer magazine, and do it exactly like this.

Update:
clients4.google.com, adobe, macromedia are still attempting to install
even though everything between the VM terminal and the internet is
blocking everything except WP.

edit:Macromedia may not exist anymore as a business, but the intrusive data
IS labeled ADOBE and MACROMEDIA.

To WP staff: please try the following test and comment on its results:
Run a tiny linux and just a browser (Firefox) and watch for hidden files
appearing from adobe, macromedia, flash ... and unexpected packet
traffic between the browser and google, when EVERYTHING EXCEPT WP
IS BLOCKED by all means.

Opinion:
If Windows is AIDS, Flashplayer is the Bird Flu (or airborne ebola), since it
is the first dangerously intrusive Linux virus I have encountered, and I suspect
that it is spreading wirelessly and sharing any and all of our data. Due to its
effect on machinery, everything is stopped, disconnected, and unplugged
(quarantined).

Concerns:
In a humorous way ,
I say that I am currently watching Big Brother watch you.

Recently we have found out that Flashplayer and Norton are trojans with full
access to all of your data, and that Google is collecting the data. Windows is
untrustworthy as SONY's rootkit viruses for hiding behind DMCA and not
permitting opening the source, even though Microsoft and PCs were once
open source environments. I have BIOS source. I have DOS source. I have
PC schematics. I have video driver source. Nothing much is new since
Windows fit on 5 floppies and DOS didn't need a hard drive.

I haven't figured out how to stop Flash yet. My VM is getting very tiny.
Anyone who uses Linux should check for hidden files that shouldn't be
there if, like myself, they are obsessed with having a CLEAN MACHINE,
or they have held up the levies since the first computer virus.

CONCERNS:
The world is uncertain. Does anyone trust everyone?

The NatSe's may be just as willing as the NAZIs were to exterminate us.
I am watching big brother watch WP and I see:

Copyright trolls infecting the computers of anyone who comments on
their "Piracy" threads.
IRS watching you confess to tax evasion on that thread.
Evolutionists are watching the "flock of sheep" like wolves.
Westboro-like people watching your comments on GLBT issues
AUTISM CURE ADVOCATES (abortionists?/Eugenicists) too.

This is a public site. Google put my FLASH FIRE report as #1 immediately
when I posted it. Google MACROMEDIA FLASH FIRE and see if it still is.
Many of you are confessing to crimes.
"You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you."

ABSOLUTE BIGGEST CONCERN: You are confessing to crimes on this site
which is propagating a virus capable of watching you through your camera
and uploading your entire hard drive. Therefore...
WP IS BETRAYING US ALL
and I am still waiting for some kind of answer to a problem that was known
and tolerated until it became a physical danger, "the Flash Fire".
PACKET SNIFFING IS TOLERABLE.
IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT EVERY PACKET ON THE INTERNET
HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND ARCHIVED
AND THAT WE HAVE NO PRIVACY ON THE PACKET-SWITCHED NETWORK
WITHOUT VERY STRONG ENCRYPTION.

BUT THE "FLASH FIRE" PROVED THE EXTENT OF VIRTUAL AND REAL VIOLENCE
AND INVASION OF PRIVACY THAT FLASHPLAYER IS CAPABLE OF,
WHICH I CALL HOME INVASION , ROBBERY, AND ATTEMPTED ARSON/MURDER:!:

WP is not a filesharing site. Flashplayer should not be able to self-install
when only WP is allowed through filters and there are no ads or video.
Yet it has attempted to put itself on my terminal several times during this post.
WP is a better social network than FACEBOOK, which is worsely virus-infested,
but not as good as USENET, which is clean, at least
when used safely with common sense (as it were before 1995).

The first reply to this thread says that WP works SAFELY with LYNX
and TELNET. That is actually a good idea. Please explain to us all how to
do that if it really works.

For some reason I have not been able to update my profile with my current
email address, but at the current time that is probably OK, since I have more
techical problems with the internet right now than the "ADOBE FLASH FIRE",
although they may all have been related, only A_F_F has been caught
red-handed right here on WP, and the staff has been more helpful with
such issues in the past, and this issue is big enough that we all deserve
a public explanation of why WP has just started infecting its own users
with a dangerous virus. If I become disconnected before receiving helpful
answers, I may miss them, and be disconnected ... perhaps indefinitely.

WHY ALL THE FUSS?
You know we prefer to be left alone sometimes.
You know we obsess about tiny details (and this one isn't).

You don't know anything about PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE,
and what you don't know can hurt you no matter how big a smiley face it has on it.
Google may be your friend, but Google is your enemy's friend too!

I have evidence pictures to post, but have not figured out a way
to transfer them in this limited environment yet anyway.
The "image" feature doesn't do anything here now.

-VMS on VM ADOBE_FLASH_FIRE April 9,2010

the reason to all the clients4 requests is at the bottom of the page, see the "Call me" widget? that's causing it.

how to text browse: http://links.sourceforge.net/

Thanks. I don't know EVERYTHING but I try to, and can't.
Browsers seem more complicated than they need to be.

If the widgets are visible in the page source, I think they can
be removed before the browser sees them. Anything is
possible, but this is a big problem with an easy solution
that I just don't know, so its killing too much time.

Widgets=firebugs/"evil updates"

Still figuring out how they cause trouble.
Google<->Flash spy stuff like Facebook/Youtube.
I'll try some more things.

For those using Windows, it's easy to keep flash in check. First install Sandboxie. Then install flash sandboxed. When you go to a site that needs flash, use your browser inside the sandbox. That way your computer can stay flash free outside the sandbox. Too bad there doesn't seem to be similar programs for linux.

BTW Vals, use Chrome/Chromium, everything is sandboxed, no centipedes will get out of the browser...

Just in case someone get confused, the kind of sandboxing provided by Sandboxie and chrome is entirely different.

What google called sandboxing is process isolation. Each tab and plugin is run in a separate process that is isolated from each other. But that doesn't mean chrome has control over what the plugins can do. The plugins still has all the rights a normal process has. Moreover, when flash is installed, it's a system wide thing. The only thing you can do is use something like FlashBlock to restrict when flash can be loaded. But all those concerns like local shared object is still there.

The kind of sandboxing done by Sandboxie is more like a virtual environment that only exist for those programs running inside the sandbox. Besides isolating the processes inside the sandbox from the outside, it also virtualize all disk writes. That means when you install flash inside the sandbox, it only exist inside the sandbox. A browser outside the sandbox will not see flash installed at all. You can also simply clear the sandbox to remove all trackings provide by flash.
