Having problems with a local storage error when trying to play flash videos on YouTube or other websites?

If you’ve reinstalled Flash Player but still have the same error, then try removing the website from the Website Storage Settings Panel, which can be found here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

Note that the manager just underneath the title of “Website Storage Settings Panel” isn’t an image, it’s the flash application you’ll use to remove the website. Simply choose the website you’re having problems with, then delete it and try watching your video.

Do I really need an Antivirus?

computerstatusprotected_webIf you’re using a popular Operating System such as Microsoft Windows, Linux or Mac OS, then yes you do need an antivirus. Hackers are always trying to find ways to exploit such systems and if you don’t have any protection, then your computer could be a very easy target.

Many people tend to think that if they don’t download music, videos, applications or watch videos online, they won’t be infected. The truth is that practically everyone can be infected when they’re browing the web, and not protected by any antivirus software. The only way to prevent infections is by either disconnecting from the internet or installing antivirus software which can help protect against many different viruses and malware.

As the internet is getting more advanced, so are the viruses that are coded to infect computers. Many viruses these days are infecting web servers of innocent websites, which will then infect your computer as soon as you visit the website unprotected.

I recommend that you install the following software and run scans regularly for maximum protection.

Microsoft Security Essentials
MalwareBytes
